Mr.King:
Hello! I believe that the echoWare client sends an "IsAlive" message
(about 30 bytes) to the echoServer once every 10 seconds, which works
out to about 250kB a day, per EchoVNC client. The echoServer uses
these "heartbeats" to detect relatively quickly if a client is still
connected,
and the heartbeats also help the TCP session "alive" thru any routers
or proxies that expect periodic traffic.
I'll ask the developers to compile a version of echoWare that has a
reduced IsAlive frequency. We may also need to update the echoServer
so that it doesn't confuse the reduced frequency with a disconnection.
Are you still running the Windows-flavored echoServer?
cheers,
Scott
