In the webref cited above:
Un tercer temporizador usado en algunas implementaciones es el temporizador de seguir con vida (keepalive timer).
Cuando una conexión ha estado ociosa durante demasiado tiempo, el temporizador de seguir con vida puede terminar, haciendo que un lado compruebe que el otro aún está ahí. Si no se recibe respuesta, se termina la conexión por lo demás saludable debido a una partición temporal de la red.

Note: It is very common to keep the English term in Spanish, as here, for example:
https://www.cisco.com/c/es_mx/support/docs/content-networkin...
Los reintentos de keepalive son el número de veces que el dispositivo continúa enviando paquetes keepalive sin respuesta antes de que el estado cambie a "down".

The IT and telecoms-savvy will see that those two quotes are describing a similar technical concept - the monitoring of the availability of a data channel even while there is no useful data being transmitted (a matter of non-trivial importance in Asker's context).
