Overview
Tells whether the TCP Keep-Alive mechanism is turned on for a socket. TCP Keep-Alive works as described here:
The value of the configuration flag can be obtained from the Socket or from the SocketChannel with supportedOptions().

void setKeepAlive(boolean); boolean getKeepAlive();
The KeepAlive parameters can be only set at the operating system level.
