<p>Most messaging protocols allow the client to send periodic
content-less pings to the server when the connection is otherwise idle,
to reassure both itself and the server that its connection is still
alive. Depending on the nature of the network connection, and the
device running the client, the desired interval between such pings may
vary.</p>
<tp:rationale>
<p>For instance, on a mobile handset connected via 3G,
overly-frequent keepalives can drain the battery through needlessly
waking up the radio, and a relatively high interval is appropiate. By
contrast, a desktop computer is less likely to be asleep in the first
place, and users expect dropped connections to be noticed as soon as
possible.</p>
</tp:rationale>
<p>This interface provides a
<tp:member-ref>KeepaliveInterval</tp:member-ref> property which
controls the frequency of keepalive pings, if any. Connection managers
implementing this property should also include it in <tp:dbus-ref
namespace='org.freedesktop.Telepathy'>Protocol.Parameters</tp:dbus-ref>
with the <code>DBus_Property</code> flag, allowing the desired value to
be stored in <tp:dbus-ref
namespace='org.freedesktop.Telepathy'>Account.Parameters</tp:dbus-ref>
and passed onto the connection by the account manager.</p>

<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>The time in seconds between pings sent to the server to ensure that
the connection is still alive, or <tt>0</tt> to disable such
pings.</p>
<p>This property (and parameter) supersedes the older
<tt>keepalive-interval</tt>
<tp:type>Connection_Parameter_Name</tp:type>.</p>
