"Firewall Optimization" State Table setting

[mgeoffriau]

Firewall > Settings > Advanced > Miscellaneous > Firewall Optimization

Does anyone know what the Normal, High-Latency, Aggressive, and Conservative options actually correlate to in terms of session timeouts? Is that the only thing that controls or does it affect other values as well?

I'm chasing an issue where a persistently-connected application keeps disconnecting. Originally it was happening quite frequently, every 60-70 seconds. After adjusting the Firewall Optimization setting to "Conservative", it's much more stable but still disconnects at regular intervals just over 15 minutes long.

I'd like to know what each of those options actually controls as I have a feeling that somewhere there's a timeout setting that is killing sessions at 900 seconds.
