Description
I have an old server (2.4.12) where clients connect. The server has server-bridge nogw and keepalive 16 48 in the config. Old clients (2.4.12) work fine in this setup.
With the same client config on 2.7 RC3, the connection comes up fine, then stays for a minute or so and then goes down again, just to come online again. This repeats endlessly every minute or so.
Is there anyone having an idea why this happens?
Thanks,
Simon

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated disconnect and reconnect with a 2.7 RC3 client, a 2.4.12 server, the server-bridge nogw setting, and keepalive 16 48. Compare the client and server connection logs around the one-minute drop; done means identifying the cause and keeping the connection stable without disrupting the older-client setup.
