Many systems provide the ability to keep tcp connections alive, so they aren’t reset by peers or by routers because of inactivity.
Even if this feature is present, only a few programs correctly implement the code to use it. If your favourite foo-client is not written with support for tcp keepalive, you’ll continue to see your connection reset.
