Details

When no data is exchanged across the connection for sock.connectiontout/2 number of seconds this connection is aborted (in the same way as if the sock.reset method was used). Connection timeout of 0 means "no timeout."

Actual time elapsed since the last data exchange across the socket can be obtained through the sock.toutcounter R/O property.
