Linux : receive from socket with timeout?

I have an graphics application , where data comes from server whenever there is an update in the screen. (Incremental update). I am observing that when there is no data coming from server , after some time socket is getting closed. is there any way to handle this scenario?

Maybe the "TCP keepalive" is what you need. You can get more information in this web page: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/programming.html
