Key.

Hmm. Start "emacs -Q -l tramp". Then in *scratch*

;; There's an empty cache.
tramp-cache-data
=> #s(hash-table size 65 test equal rehash-size 1.5 rehash-threshold 0.8125 data ())

;; Open a connection.
(file-attributes "/sudo::")
=> (t 9 0 0 (25256 27751 0 0) (25256 48385 0 0) (25256 48385 0 0) 4096 "dr-xr-x---" nil 2621441 (-1 . 1))

;; The cache contains an entry for this connection, and this entry
;; contains the property "process-buffer" with value nil.
(pp tramp-cache-data)
=> #s(hash-table size 65 test equal rehash-size 1.5 rehash-threshold 0.8125 data
	      ((tramp-file-name "sudo"
				#("root" 0 4
				  (tramp-default t))
				nil
				#("gandalf" 0 7
				  (tramp-default t))
				nil nil nil)
	       #s(hash-table size 65 test equal rehash-size 1.5 rehash-threshold 0.8125 data

   ...

(tramp-connection-property-p (tramp-dissect-file-name "/sudo::") "process-buffer")
=> t

(tramp-list-connections)
=> ((tramp-file-name sudo root nil gandalf nil nil nil))

;; Now wait ca 5 min, until you see the message
;; "Tramp: Timeout session /sudo:root <at> gandalf:".
(tramp-connection-property-p (tramp-dissect-file-name "/sudo::") "process-buffer")
=> nil

(tramp-list-connections)
=> nil

Best regards, Michael.
