Yes, exactly. In the model I was talking about, the server tells all clients to redirect, waits for a certain period of time and then kills all connections or shuts down. And during that period of time, while the server is waiting, the client can decide what is the best moment to disconnect. But if client doesn't disconnect - the server will kill the connection anyway eventually, it won't wait forever.
