-this parameter configures the “TCP keepalive” behavior

-If this parameter is omitted then the operating system’s settings will be
-in effect for the socket.
-If it is set to the value “<literal>on</literal>”, the
-<c-def>SO_KEEPALIVE</c-def> option is turned on for the socket.
-If it is set to the value “<literal>off</literal>”, the
-<c-def>SO_KEEPALIVE</c-def> option is turned off for the socket.
-Some operating systems support setting of TCP keepalive parameters on
-a per-socket basis using the <c-def>TCP_KEEPIDLE</c-def>,
-<c-def>TCP_KEEPINTVL</c-def>, and <c-def>TCP_KEEPCNT</c-def> socket options.
-On such systems (currently, Linux 2.4+, NetBSD 5+, and
-FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE), they can be configured
-using the <value>keepidle</value>, <value>keepintvl</value>, and
-<value>keepcnt</value> parameters.
-One or two parameters may be omitted, in which case the system default setting
-for the corresponding socket option will be in effect.
-For example,
-<example>so_keepalive=30m::10</example>
-will set the idle timeout (<c-def>TCP_KEEPIDLE</c-def>) to 30 minutes,
