Re: Concerns about changing TCP/IP keep alive time.

I recently got an update to a Domino ticket that went like this:
Looking at the current data from netstat the GDDATA system has 2872
sessions from LDAP in close2 status.
These are sessions that will Eventually close.

One thing we can do is drop the keep alive time.

This is the TCP parameter that limits how long a dead but not closed
session will hold the socket open.
The default is 2 hours, We could cut that to 15 minutes and drop the
CLO2 session count ,
And I confirmed that he wants me to change from
CHGTCPA TCPKEEPALV(255)
to
CHGTCPA TCPKEEPALV(15)

My dilemma is that I can't remember why I have it set to that on this one
lpar and I am hoping that this change will not adversely affect ftp or
anything. I am going to start documenting changes to system values and
such. That being said, any concerns about this change?
