There should be a ping interval at least. One can then hardcode the timeout
to be 3 time ping interval or anything. Note that a timeout is not strictly
needed, since the ping alone will detect reset connections, but the timeout
can do that faster than the usual TCP retry times, and it can detect
dead/hanging clients.

Well, it does need a protocol change, because it needs the Ping and Pong
Messages. You can go without the Pong, but then you can't measure timeout
and rountdtrip.
