+Either a firewall or a router may decide to timeout and terminate
+open connections if they are not active for a short time. By Internet
+standards the period should be two hours, and should be indefinitely
+extended if KEEPALIVE is set as is the case by Bacula.  If your firewall
+or router does not respect these rules, you may find Bacula connections
+terminated. In that case, the first thing to try is turning on the
+{\bf Heart Beat Interval} both in the File daemon and the Storage daemon
+and set an interval of say five minutes.
+
+Also, if you have denial of service rate limiting in your firewall, this
+too can cause Bacula disconnects since Bacula can at times use very high 
+access rates. To avoid this, you should implement default accept
+rules for the Bacula ports involved before the rate limiting rules.
