TCP proxy session idle timeout #520

Description

@shaneutt

TCP proxy connections need configurable idle timeouts at the session level. A bidirectional TCP proxy connection that is idle for longer than the configured duration should be closed gracefully.

Goal

Prevent stale TCP proxy connections from consuming resources indefinitely.

Requirements

  • Per-listener configurable idle timeout for TCP proxy sessions
  • Bidirectional idle detection (no data in either direction)
  • Graceful close (FIN, not RST) on timeout
  • Distinct from socket-level TCP tuning (TCP Tuning Configuration #149) this is application-layer session management
  • Reasonable default (e.g., 1 hour)
