Yes, this will likely break virt-p2v.
I'm guessing there is no keepalive in the control connections.
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?
