Are you seeing this behavior? I don't think this is true by default.

AbstractRemoteGatewaySender.initProxy sets these fields on the PoolFactory:

pf.setReadTimeout(this.socketReadTimeout);
pf.setIdleTimeout(connectionIdleTimeOut);

By default, socketReadTimeout is 0 (no timeout), and connectionIdleTimeOut
is -1 (disabled).

Each Event Processor thread will have its own connection to the remote site:

Event Processor for GatewaySender_ny.1:
GatewaySenderEventRemoteDispatcher.initializeConnection connection=Pooled
Connection to 127.0.0.1:5452: Connection[127.0.0.1:5452]@306907760
Event Processor for GatewaySender_ny.2:
GatewaySenderEventRemoteDispatcher.initializeConnection connection=Pooled
Connection to 127.0.0.1:5452: Connection[127.0.0.1:5452]@608855137
Event Processor for GatewaySender_ny.0:
GatewaySenderEventRemoteDispatcher.initializeConnection connection=Pooled
Connection to 127.0.0.1:5452: Connection[127.0.0.1:5452]@950613560
Event Processor for GatewaySender_ny.4:
GatewaySenderEventRemoteDispatcher.initializeConnection connection=Pooled
Connection to 127.0.0.1:5452: Connection[127.0.0.1:5452]@1005378489
Event Processor for GatewaySender_ny.3:
GatewaySenderEventRemoteDispatcher.initializeConnection connection=Pooled
Connection to 127.0.0.1:5452: Connection[127.0.0.1:5452]@629246640

There will be one Event Processor thread for each dispatcher thread (5 by
default).

There aren't any good public ways to monitor the connections other than JMX.

One way to monitor these connections is with ConnectionStats on the sender
side.

You can do that with vsd: ClientStats -> GatewaySenderStats -> connections

You can also do it with code like:

private int getConnectionCount(String gatewaySenderId) {
  AbstractGatewaySender sender = (AbstractGatewaySender)
cache.getGatewaySender(gatewaySenderId);
  int totalConnections = 0;
  if (sender != null) {
    for (ConnectionStats connectionStats :
sender.getProxy().getEndpointManager().getAllStats().values()) {
      totalConnections += connectionStats.getConnections();
    }
    System.out.println("Sender=" + gatewaySenderId + "; connectionCount=" +
totalConnections);
  }
  return totalConnections;
}

You can also dump whether the dispatcher is connected like:

private void dumpConnected(String gatewaySenderId) {
  AbstractGatewaySender sender = (AbstractGatewaySender)
cache.getGatewaySender(gatewaySenderId);
  if (sender.isParallel()) {
    ConcurrentParallelGatewaySenderEventProcessor concurrentProcessor =
(ConcurrentParallelGatewaySenderEventProcessor) sender.getEventProcessor();
    for (ParallelGatewaySenderEventProcessor processor :
concurrentProcessor.getProcessors()) {
      System.out.println("Processor=" + processor + "; isConnected=" +
processor.getDispatcher().isConnectedToRemote());
    }
  } else {
    ConcurrentSerialGatewaySenderEventProcessor concurrentProcessor =
(ConcurrentSerialGatewaySenderEventProcessor) sender.getEventProcessor();
    List<SerialGatewaySenderEventProcessor> processors =
concurrentProcessor.getProcessors();
    for (SerialGatewaySenderEventProcessor processor :
concurrentProcessor.getProcessors()) {
      System.out.println("Processor=" + processor + "; isConnected=" +
processor.getDispatcher().isConnectedToRemote());
    }
  }
}

The isConnectedToRemote method does:

return connection != null && !connection.isDestroyed();
