             Bug #: 51459
           Summary: Shaky connection: continuous disconnects under network
                    load
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: gabble
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Dear developers,

of late (a couple of months, at the moment I am running telepathy-gabble 0.16.0
but this applies to a couple of the last releases) I am getting a lot of
disconnect events while using Empathy. 

These happen randomly, but are especially frequent when the network connection
is under load (a lot of outgoing / incoming connections, such as those given by
p2p systems like Yacy or running a Tor relay, help to trigger the issue more
than a single connection eating a lot of bandwidth). They can be as frequent as
one per 1-2 minutes.

This is annoying especially when having a conversation with someone, as
connection with the server is lost and you have to wait for it to be
re-established (which might take up to 10-15 seconds) before your messages are
delivered.

I am seeing this also with the Jabber server, but it is far more frequent with
the Google Talk ones.

How can I help you diagnose the issue?
