Not quite.... The keep alive for the tunnel is send by the Client. one icmp packet every 20 seconds or so. The SCV_keepalive has to do with the SecureConfigurationVerification. The client has to validate by a set of rules ($fwdir/conf/local.scv) in you can allow traffic on the condition the client is conforming the SCV check. The FW has to know if the Client is SCV'ed hench the SCV-keepalive from the FW to the Client. Both these keepalive are 'one ping only' so they should not have a significant impact on performance. Backconnection is not a security issue, it just makes sure that the tunnel exists as long as the client is running and that it does not time-out so that traffic can be initiated from your network to the client securely through the tunnel.
