Thanks Peter for the comments. The RFC states that the TCP polling
interval is configurable.

<snip>
The time between such "whitespace pings" is a matter of implementation
and local service policy; however, it is RECOMMENDED that these pings be
sent not more than once every 60 seconds.

Is there a default polling interval ?.. or is that also dependent on
the xmpp server implementation? 

I have been working with Jabber XCP server and i only found a "polling
director" component which has a session timeout field which is nothing
but ---> "the number of seconds after which the server terminates the
session if the client has not sent a poll request."

I think this is purely at (the higher) xmpp level and does not talk
about TCP polling, or does it ..?

Thanks
