TCP timeout between hosts

Lets say 2 Sun Servers have a TCP connection to lets say port 5550. Now one of
the hosts dies, lets say power failure. How long does the other host keep that
socket(connection) open. The RFC for TCP does not have a timeout for this. My
question is what is the default timeout for Solaris 2.6-2.8 servers for this
type of event?

Thanks.
