Hello, in server side, there is already API for sending keepalive messages: https://gitlab.com/libssh/libssh-mirror/-/blob/master/include/libssh/server.h#L368 In the connection, only one of the peers needs to send the keepalive messages to keep a connection alive. If you need the similar functionality in the client, I would rather see it implemented by creating a new API function than exposing this internal function.
