When a connection have not received packets for a certain period of time (default 2 hours), it should send KEEP-ALIVE packets.

My question is, who will start sending KEEP-Alive packets, the client, server or both?

What kind of server/client are you using? – Can Kavaklıoğlu Dec 23 '11 at 12:19
I would think it would be the side that initiated the connection. – joeqwerty Dec 23 '11 at 15:10
