>>ClientAliveCountMax is a counter. ClientAliveInterval is a timeout interval.

With ClientAliveCountMax == 0 there will be no "client alive packet"
sent and I will force a disconnection if there is no traffic within
ClientAliveInterval secs.

With ClientAliveCountMax == 1 there will be 1 "client alive packet"
sent and I will force a disconnection if there is no traffic and no
reply within 2*ClientAliveInterval secs.

Is this correct?
Sorry for asking silly questions and abusing your patience!
