           Summary: Should send keep-alive packets to detect dropped
                    connections.
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: idle
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: sjoerd at luon.net
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


A lot of nats drop idle tcp connections after an hour or so, current idle
does't detect this. Only when a message is sent it suddenly realizes what
happened. Which is bad

A common solution is to send keep-alive packets once in a while (PING or other)
if there is no other traffic.
