What is the difference between these two, if any? Seems to me they both accomplish the same thing (allowing one side of a channel to see that the network is down and thus being able to go Inactive). The only thing I can guess is that Keep Alive applies only to TCP while Heartbeat will work for other transmission protocols as well as TCP.
Was Keep Alive the only thing available at one time, and now is kind of useless if you have HeartBeat available to you?
