           Summary: Implement whitespace pings
           Product: Wocky
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

On cellular networks there is a big difference in power consumption if packets
(including the TCP and IP overhead) are smaller than about 125 bytes. See
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0286.html#sect-id152122 for details.
Making sure that the activity due to keepalives only uses the low power FACH
channel means we can visibly increase the battery life of phones. To help with
this one possible partial solution is to use whitespace pings instead of proper
XMPP ones.
