Dead Peer Detection (DPD):
When DPD is enabled, the RV082 will send the periodic HELLO/ACK messages to
prove the tunnel liveliness when both peers of VPN tunnel provide DPD mechanism. Once a dead peer has

The Interval is the number of seconds between DPD messages. The default is DPD enabled, and default Interval is
10 seconds.
