Not really. It's pretty verbose. We generally prefer to send
whitespace over the TCP connection. We usually call that "whitespace
ping".

That won't inform us if connection is brocken or server is down as
those whitespace ping don't receive a pong ...
Right. I have no deep objections to using XEP-0199 -- we defined it to
solve these problems! -- but you might want to be smart about how often
you send a ping. Some feedback would be helpful about how often people
think they need to send pings.
P
every 30 seconds ? and we can expect an answer in the next 5 seconds ?
Does that sound reasonable ?
