Re: tcp_keepalive

>From an application level, the following values in sshd_config
affect keepalives:
KeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 30
ClientAliveCountMax 999999
See the sshd_config(5) man page for documentation.

Alternatively, you can set it in the client side ssh_config:
KeepAlive yes
See the ssh_config(5) man page for documentation.

Additionally, you can set things globally by modifying kernel
sysctl values:
net.inet.tcp.keepidle: 144000
net.inet.tcp.keepintvl: 1500
net.inet.tcp.keepinit: 1500
net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive: 0
