Isn't that a TCP problem since that can happen to any protocol which is based to TCP?

What is the proper method of performing a ping across a client XMPP

This obviously can lead to two inconvenient situations:
  1. Dropped messages that could otherwise stored.
  2. A stale presense of availablity.

A quick Google search didn't result in anything useful, except a thread
noting how it _shouldn't_ be done.

Any ideas?
