When an SSH session behind an SSHD dialer dies silently (NAT timeout,
server disconnect, idle TCP drop), IsClosed() may still return false
because the health-check goroutine hasn't detected the failure yet.
Returning this dead cached session to the connector causes:
ssh: unexpected packet in response to channel open:
Add a Ping(req)-based liveness check before returning a cached session.
If the ping fails, evict the session so the next Dial rebuilds a fresh
connection. This matches the dead-session eviction pattern already used
by the SSH, KCP, QUIC, and ICMP dialers.
Also export the ping-as-health-check as Session.Ping(timeout) so it can
be used by external health probes. Retain the existing ping() helper
unmodified.
Add configurable TCP keepalive (keepalive, keepalive.idle,
keepalive.interval, keepalive.count) to all TCP-based transport types:
tls, mtls, mtcp, ws/wss, mws/mwss, http2, ssh, sshd listeners and
tls, mtls, mtcp, ws/wss, mws/mwss, ssh, sshd dialers.
For types that already use "keepalive" for an app-level protocol
(grpc listener/dialer, ws/mws dialers, ssh/sshd dialers), the TCP
keepalive parameters are exposed under the tcp.keepalive.* prefix to
avoid ambiguity.
Also extract shared helpers into internal/net/keepalive.go:
- WrapKeepaliveListener: applies KeepAliveConfig on every accepted TCPConn
- ApplyKeepalive: applies KeepAliveConfig to a single TCPConn
