Application timeout

Hi

I have an application that runs on ServerA that needs to make a connection to ServerB.

Both are Windows 2012 Servers.

I had a couple of questions

1. If ServerB was hard down, is there a  standard TCP timeout that applications utilise to confirm this

2. If ServerB was up, but the network path to ServerB was down, is this the same as situation A

3. If ServerB was up, but the network path to B was down, is the TCP response the same?

are you want to ensure the high availiblity for your app if yes you can use Windows Load Balancer it's a good solution for Layer 4 load balancing

Thank you. In relation to the TCP TTL, would you agree it's based on the source OS and the figures are:

http://subinsb.com/default-device-ttl-values

So if Server A is a Windows 2008 Server, the TTL for the packet would be 128ms?
The default would be 128 seconds, which is just over 2 minutes.
