Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a modem may receive, from an applications processor of a user equipment (UE), a registration message associated with keep alive offloading. Accordingly, the modem may filter incoming transmission control protocol (TCP) packets to determine a current sequence number and a current acknowledgement number. The modem may further receive, from the applications processor, an indication to perform a keep alive procedure. Accordingly, the modem may transmit, periodically, TCP keep alive packets based on the current sequence number and the current acknowledgement number. Numerous other aspects are described.
