If a connected host disappears without our knowledge, as can happen over wireless or a hibernating machine, we continue to hold the port open waiting for messages. Because we never try to send anything down this now-broken pipe, the connection will sit idle taking up a slot in our allowed incoming connections list. If enough of these happen, an unintended Denial of Service takes place, where all connection slots are filled with now-broken, never ending connections. Setting the TCP keepalive option at least allows these to time out after the default two hours, which is sufficient in the non-malicious case. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
