[rhn-users] abnormal network disconnection - Detection

[suresh.thomas at wipro.com]

We are facing a problem in detecting abnormal network disconnection
between custom made tcp socket server and client
 

Description:
We have a tcp based socket server, which listens to a connection
oriented tcp clients on a particular port (configurable, but defaulted
5001).
 
We need to immediately (within a second) get notified when a client gets
disconnected due to client crashing or due to other network problems. We
don't prefer to make any system level tcp settings like tcp_keepalive,
which will affect other network services on the machine.
 
Any idea ?
