Howdy,
The default idle timeout on a TCP connection is about 10 seconds. The SDK has a function called "espconn_regist_time" which allows you to override this default. The maximum idle allowable duration of a TCP connection is 2 hours.

TCP Timeout

2015-08-11T03:15:13+08:00

I have two ESP's one set as AP with TCP server and another ESP as STA. The STA connects to AP and establishes TCP connection. After sending few thousand bytes ~10KB-20KB the connection times out and the STA has to establish TCP connection again.

Is there anyway to stop the ESP STA from timing out and keep the connection alive through out the whole transmission? (Note: I am constantly sending packets so the connection is always being used)
