Background application idle timeout and iOS

I have an application running on iOS. The application makes a connection to one of our internet servers.

When the app is running it has different components, and these all contribute to the application having 10 concurrent connections to our internet server.

What we'd like to look into is setting some sort of timeout on our firewall so that the connections on our server don't get exhausted.

We can enforce some sort of idle timeout.

What I'd like to understand is how this works on the iOS side. If I was to 'background' the application, does iOS have an idle client timeout itself where it terminates the connections from the client side?

Thanks but is there a default?
Hi,

You may implement your own with default NSTimer and check ideal timeout for app.
This library is implemented on top of default so you can use this if you want or you may adopt default logic of this library.

Thanks & Regards,

So what is the default value, sorry not following?
