Sometimes things in between the two systems you have control over cause problems that make these settings not work as you would expect. I have seen cases where disabling both keep alive message types worked best in terms of not having the connections get terminated. ClientAliveInterval 0 # don't send keep alive messages TCPKeepAlive no # and no TCP keep alive messages either (default is yes) Guess it was a firewall issue or some intermittent connectivity problem, but disabling the those two things made for more stable sessions. One downside is that when a connection gets terminated there is a zombie process left on the server that has to be killed off.
