Yes, this will likely break virt-p2v.

The default for ssh is to use TCP keepalives. However those are very
infrequent (once every 2 hours IIRC), so it won't prevent a firewall
with such a short timeout from breaking virt-p2v.
Easiest thing here would be to fix the firewall. 15 minutes is a very
short timeout. Doesn't that cause all kinds of problems for regular
SSH usage?
SSH client has option ServerAliveInterval (in seconds) that instructs
SSH to send, after period of inactivity, a message through control
connection and request a response from server. The default is 0, i.e. no
such messages are sent. The intent is mostly to detect early when
connection was dropped, but it should also help you with your firewall.
Hope this helps,
Tomas
