The TCP ESTABLISHED state has no timeouts at all (though intemediate stateful things can get bored). The setup/teardown do though :-) But they can be proxied. Our previous satellite modem proxied TCP locally and ran a more-suitable-satellite protocol from the modem to the downstation, where it became TCP again and went on its way.
