Description
The TCP keepalive section in the diagnostics FAQ suggests that users set tcp_keepalive_time system-wide to 5 minutes. It should be revised to reflect that, since version 2.0, the Linux build of the server automatically sets this on its own sockets (SERVER-3604). In addition, the following excerpt should be fact-checked and then rewritten (it's ambiguous as-is – take effect on existing connections? new connections?):
"The new tcp_keepalive_time value takes effect without requiring you to restart the mongod or mongos servers."
