There's a 3rd reason: keepalives (tcp or application) are actually undesirable because they burn through your battery. It's far better to do keepalives on one dedicated connection and kill all the other non keepalive connections if you determine via that one that the network is bad (or if you have some other signals about network badness). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
