Well, not really. You'll get a TCP ack back, which should be enough
to keep the lights on. Some servers can also be configured to send
space keep-alives. If both sides use this algorithm things seem to
work pretty well:
1) set a timer to some amount of time, say 30 seconds
2) when the timer fires, send a space
3) whenever you send something, reset to the timer to zero
4) whenever you receive something, reset the timer to zero
this allows you to detect dead links about as quickly as possible,
without increasing network traffic any more than absolutely necessary.
