Hi, One of my colleagues is working our XMPP server, and saw an issue which seems foreign to me (I am also kind of new to XMPP).
The issue is, in order to check whether the client is up or not, our XMPP server implemented XEP-0199 from the server side (S2C) which is enabled by default, and the periodicity of pings can be controlled by server side configuration, but some XMPP clients send their own pings whose timeouts cannot be configured. This results in ping-pong packets coming and going around a lot, and awkward interactions (the client may think that the server is down but server may not, in case client timeout is less than server timeout). What we were thinking was the following: After Service Discovery is done, the pinging and the pinged entity could negotiate a timeout between themselves (one of them could dictate what timeout to use, or both parties could suggest timeouts and we use the one which is lower). Is this a good idea? Thanks, Vaibhav
