Comment Do you pass a statefull firewall . ? (Score 1) 10
SSH has a protocol that doesn not poll to keep it's session active : You can completely pull out your routes , wait for 5 minutes and you can continue ..
This might sound OK , but it also has a downfall:
as long as you are not typing , there is no traffic generated from your side. If you would pass for example a Checkpoint Firewall , the tcp timeout in the root checkpoint config will close the connection after the defined tcp timeout , usually 30 minutes. Even running a tunnel with X for example will not help as the tunnel traffic does not get counted ( I do not know why )
The work around we have created here is to start a script in the background that shows the date every 25 minutes, this the looks like you have a person typing in 'date' and keeps the tcp session up and running ..
Hope this helps
