Hi,

I am struggling to understand what following phrase says:

tcp_keepalives_idle (integer)   Specifies the number of seconds before sending a keepalive packet   on an otherwise
idleconnection.
 

What I am not sure is the meaning of "otherwise". Can I safely replace
it to:   Specifies the number of seconds before sending a keepalive packet   on an other side of idle connection.

What I try to want to mean here is, "other side" is frontend side
connection point.

Or I am completely misunderstanding?
