Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I was talking about the "keepidle" and "keepinvtl" timers, which determine
the intervals between keepalives.  These timers are settable system-wide
using the net.inet.tcp.{keepidle,keepintvl} sysctl options.  I was suggesting
causing them to be tunable on a per-socket basis like TGV Multinet.  This
might be useful for servers with different keepalive requirements.

>I have no idea where to document it.

Probably in tcp(4).
