Bursting ten packets isn't likely to be much more expensive than sending one. I'm not sure why the server needs to be involved in this, though. Keepalives should be sent from client to server; that's enough to keep the TCP connection and, more importantly, any NAT alive. I don't know why the server would also send keepalives to the client--and without that there's nothing to negotiate. -- Glenn Maynard
