F21 SSH sends TCP keep-alive - server RSTs

For some reason, after LOTS of idle chatter between my F21 SSH client
and the server (I am assuming these are SSH application keep-alives), my
F21 SSH client sends a TCP keep-alive. This is after some long time of
the client NOT sending an SSH idle packet.
As soon as the server receives this TCP keep-alive, it sends a TCP RST
and that 'breaks the pipe'.
So what in the client determines the rate of SSH keep-alives and for how
long inactive?
Then with the app level inactive, why the TCP keep-alive?
Or do I take this question to the OpenSSH list?
