If i were to enable service tcp-keepalive on a router(both), and establish a telnet session from the remote site to the main site, it should keep sending keepalives till the keep alive time interval. If the link is an ISDN DDR 1) Will the isdn link remain up if the keepalives are defined as interesting traffic? 2) What is the definition/port for these keepalive packets (for use in DDR config) ? 3) What all does the term "TCP Connections" cover in the context of the above? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
