The FREQUENCY parameter specifies the number of seconds to wait after data has been sent or received on a connection before beginning keepalive detection. Choosing a high number means that connections are checked less often and the resulting network traffic is reduced. Choosing a low frequency means that connections are checked more frequently and connections are freed more rapidly.
The value is an integer in the range 1–65 535.
