TCP end timeout

[Christian_Koehl]

Hi folks,

I have some questions regarding the "TCP end timeout" in globl properties.

1) Why is there a different timeout with 5 sec. for gateway with version R80.20 and higher? Were as, for the others it is set to 20 sec.

2) When do this timeout starts exactly? When the first FIN packet is seen?

Best regards,

Christian
