[JDEV] Keep-Alives

[Matthias Wimmer]

Hi!

I know there were some discussions about implementing keep-alives to the 
Jabber protocol.
Has anybody thought about using TCP keep-alives? I would prefer using 
something at the TCP level over a Jabber protocol extension. (If 
somebody want's to extend the protocol the client could just send a hint 
as a attribute to the <stream:stream/> tag to tell the server if it 
preferes using keep-alives or not.
See "man tcp" on your favourite Unix host for more information on 
keep-alives.

(Thought I had proposed this earlier but I havn't as I now noticed *g*)
