Jason Brown commented on CASSANDRA-9237:
----------------------------------------

bq. Any redefinition of liveness or heartbeat generation belongs in a new ticket

Agreed, and will do so. 

bq. Why not just switch it back to GOSSIP + INTERNAL if we're going to consider 
that?

I wonder if [~benedict]'s earlier statement backs up what you are saying:

bq. TCP connections are generally designed to share bandwidth fairly, so having 
an extra connection means a low traffic high priority connection will be more 
likely to see its messages arrive promptly.

Thus, "cutting to the head of the line" is quite possibly achieved, albeit in a 
slightly different manner.

> Reported as an issue over less than perfect networks like VPNs between data 
> centers.
> Gossip goes over the small message socket where small is 64k which isn't 
> particularly small. This is done for performance to keep most traffic on one 
> hot socket.
