There is only one connection between my program and the postgresql database, and I hope the connection may keep alive all the time. But I failed, the connection will be reset after idle for about 2 hours.

IIRC, time = 7200 (seconds) means to start sending keepalive packets
after 2 hours of idle time.  So if you have something in the way that is
dropping the connection after 2 hours, these settings will not activate
keepalive soon enough to save it.  I'd try setting that to 3600.

Seems pretty darn unlikely given these symptoms.  Look harder...
maybe something you thought was just a bridge has got routing behavior.

BTW, in the real world connections drop for all sorts of reasons, and
kernel keepalive configurations can't prevent them all.  You might be
better advised to build some reconnect-after-connection-loss logic into
your application, rather than spending time on making this work.
