Description

The TCP client () and server connections do not configure:

Connect timeout — blocks indefinitely if the server is unreachable (no / set before connect)
TCP keepalive — idle connections will not detect peer disconnection (no )
Socket timeout — / on sockets have no timeout, so a stuck network can block threads indefinitely

This means:

A client connecting to a non-responsive server will hang forever
A server with a client that disappears without closing the connection will keep the child process alive indefinitely
A network failure mid-transfer will cause an infinite hang in /

Location

Suggested Fix

Add socket timeout configuration:

These could be configurable options on the client/server command line.
