[Twisted-Python] Pulling the ethernet cable out

[Alvin Delagon]

Hello Garyc,

This is not twisted's fault. Pulling a network plug doesn't tell the server
that the client went away immediately since the connection wasn't closed
properly. Pulling the plug produces TCP half-open scenario when one thinks
that the connection is still up. This can be remedied by
polling/hearbeat/keepalive logic. You can make your twisted server aware of
the keepalive timeouts by turning on setTcpKeepAlive to 1:

self.transport.setTcpKeepAlive(1)

Cheers,
Alvin
