Ah, thanks, I think I follow. What worries me is what does inactive connection mean? I want my connection to be open even though it is inactive. And stay open, as long as the client is still there.
I guess maxInactivityDuration is exactly what I need. As long as client sends 'tiny little command' to broker, broker will consider it open. If it stops sending, it will know that client disappeared for some reason and I suppose perform some kind of cleaning.
