Quoted from TCP keepalive HowTo:
In order to understand what TCP keepalive (which we will just call keepalive) does, you need do nothing more than r

Here is a module which lets you configure TCP_KEEPINTVL and TCP_KEEPCNT per-socket basis.
Provides high-level access to socket options like TCP_KEEPIDLE, TCP_KEEPINTVL, TCP_KEEPCNT
var Net = require('net')
, NetKeepAlive = require('net-keepalive')
;
// Create a TCP Server
var srv = Net.createServer(function(s){>
console.log('Connected %j', s.address())
// Doesn't matter what it does
s.pipe(s)
});
// Start on some port
srv.listen(1337, function(){
console.log('Listening on %j', srv.address())
});
// Connect to that server
var s = Net.createConnection({port:1337}, function(){
console.log('Connected to %j', s.address())
//IMPORTANT: KeepAlive must be enabled for this to work
s.setKeepAlive(true, 1000)
// Set TCP_KEEPINTVL for this specific socket
NetKeepAlive.setKeepAliveInterval(s, 1000)
// and TCP_KEEPCNT
NetKeepAlive.setKeepAliveProbes(s, 1)
});
