Hello all, While I don't want to (re)ignite an old debate about the usefulness of keepalive messages, I do have a related question I could use a little help with.
Keepalive messages are used to check if a peer still remains in the network and they are also used to ensure a tcp connection does not timeout and therefore dropped by a router. But my question is, say I'm in a P2P network and I'm connected to multiple peers. Is one keepalive message from a single peer, say every 2 minutes, enough to stop my router timing out all my connections? Or do all peers each have to ensure that their individual connection does not timeout by regularly sending keepalive messages? If so how regularly? Okay, so that maybe three questions but at least I'm not a CFP! :) Kind regards, Richard. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
