Why the keep alive option is only for tcp source ?
This is because keep alives only make sense on connection-oriented sockets. This is explained in socket(7).
not really, the keep-alive option has nothing to do with TCP keep-alives, it simply means the socket will not be closed/reopened during a HUP. In this sense it should be possible to do the same with UDP sockets. I'll add a bugzilla entry on that. -- Bazsi
