|---|---|---|
| Beat | 1 | Tells the other peer that we are alive |
Sends a heartbeat to all peers every 5 seconds. If a heartbeat is not received for 100 seconds, it checks if there was traffic and if there wasn’t, it assumes the peer is dead.
Sends a heartbeat to all peers every 5 seconds. Doesn't care about the reply because only a timeout detection based on existing traffic is used.
