Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to dynamically set a keepalive status for a client-server connection. In one implementation, a load balancer, providing load balancing operations for a plurality of servers, identifies a first FIN packet from a client to a server of the plurality of servers and sets a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keepalive status in association the connection between the client and the load balancer. The proxy further identifies a second FIN packet from the server to the client and removes the TCP keepalive status in association with the connection in response to the second FIN packet.
