Under HTTP 1.0, connections should always be closed by the server after sending the response. [1]Since at least late 1995, [2] developers of popular products (browsers, web servers, etc.) using HTTP/1.0, started to add an unofficial extension (to the protocol) named "keep-alive" in order to allow the reuse of a connection for multiple requests/responses.
The Keep Alive signal can be used to trick intermediate hosts to not close the connection due to inactivity. It is also possible that one host is no longer listening (e.g. application or system crash). In this case, the connection is closed, but no FIN was ever sent. In this case, a KeepAlive packet can be used to interrogate a connection to ...
The firewall can use these unique connection identifiers to know when to remove a session from the state table without waiting for a timeout. UDP is a connectionless protocol, [4] which means it does not send unique connection-related identifiers while communicating. Because of that, a session will only be removed from the state table after the ...
An air gapped network (right) with no connection to a nearby internet-connected network (left) An air gap, air wall, air gapping [1] or disconnected network is a network security measure employed on one or more computers to ensure that a secure computer network is physically isolated from unsecured networks, such as the public Internet or an unsecured local area network.

In computer networking, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link layer (layer 2) communication protocol between two routers directly without any host or any other networking in between. [1] It can provide loop detection, authentication , transmission encryption , [ 2 ] and data compression .
Original development of Tera Term stopped in the late 1990s at version 2.3, but other organizations have created variations. In October 2002, Ayera Technologies released TeraTerm Pro 3.1.3 supporting SSH2 and added multiple other features like a built-in web server for API integration with external systems, recurring "keep-alive" commands, and ...
If the data in a single write spans 2n packets, where there are 2n-1 full-sized TCP segments followed by a partial TCP segment, the original Nagle algorithm would withhold the last packet, waiting for either more data to send (to fill the packet), or the ACK for the previous packet (indicating that all the previous packets have left the network).
The term half-open connection can also be used to describe an embryonic connection, i.e. a TCP connection that is in the process of being established. TCP has a three state system for opening a connection. First, the originating endpoint (A) sends a SYN packet to the destination (B). A is now in an embryonic state (specifically, SYN_SENT), and ...
