Despite their name it doesn't keep TCP sessions alive, it kills
them if the other end has gone AWOL. This happens a lot with

two minimal TCP packets every two hours for a live TCP connection.
Many servers already enable keepalives themselves.
The host requirements RFC is 10 years old, and doesn't know about
