-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It kinda depends on whether you mean the TCP connection or a networking link connection somewhere in the middle. If the TCP connection breaks rsync will fail the instant it tries to use the connection again. If connectivity is lost (such as the ethernet being unplugged) the TCP connection will stall until the kernel decides to close it. Then the TCP connection will be broken and rsync will fail the instant it tries to use it assuming it isn't already trying.
