The only real solution is to implement a kind of ping in your application. The client periodically send a ping (not ICMP, just a kind of message) to the server using the connection. The server evaluate a timeout and disconnect any client not having sent their ping. Also you can implement a simple timeout: if a client has no sent any command or data for a given time, the server disconnect automatically. How to implement that depends on your application.
