Comment(by jg):

 daf,

 This means you will detect failure even if the network event is transient.
 So you will end up, at an application layer, provoking failures and
 exceptions *much* *much* more often than if you do not.

 In a busy network environment, (say 1000 machines to the server), this is
 30 PPS.  I don't know what the bandwidth works out to, but it is not just
 one byte/packet; it is the entire size of the packet plus the size of the
 wireless preamble/postamble.

 We certainly don't need to know that someone goes away within 30 seconds.

 Keepalives are evil....
