In the case when the physical cable is removed the application (client) does no
longer get an acknowledged for the transmitted data packets (from the server).
Subsequently, TCP Retransmission packets are sent.
The used operating systems tries this for three minutes.
When this time is elapsed the TCP socket connection is closed.
So, the TCP socket is during this three minutes in the connection state,
although there is no physical connection.
I am not an TCP/IP expert, but is there in general a way to identify such a situation ?

I have the possibility to reduce this "blocking" time with
function libssh2_session_set_timeout as with the retransmission timeout
from the operating system.

However, the problem with the high CPU load of 100% still remains.
Is it possible to handle this issue in the libssh2 ?

That's a good find, it's the key point.

There probably is, but not in the application. This is a TCP stack
tunable, so you have to study what your operating system allows you
to configure.
