Looking on our firewall, it will timeout inactive connections after 15 minutes of inactivity.
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?
