CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_DTLS_TIMEOUT

Timeout value in milliseconds for DTLS connection

Type: int

Help

This variable specifies time in milliseconds after which DTLS
connection is considered dead by TLS server and DTLS resources are
freed. This is needed to prevent situation when DTLS client shuts down
without closing connection gracefully, which can prevent other peers
from connecting. Value of 0 indicates no timeout - resources will be
freed only when connection is gracefully closed by peer sending TLS
notification or socket is closed.
