as some of you know...
 
if a peer is behind a firewall, you have to ping/pong udp style to keep the hole open...once about every 20 seconds...now, if you know the machine can accept unsolicited udp messages, then either the firewall is open or the peer is not behind a firewall, and this type of peer does not have to ping/pong at all to be communicated with...but...it is always nice to know which peers are online and which have dropped off, and you can use ping/pong to deteremine this...
 
my question is, if the udp channel is open, how often should you ping/pong other peers to keep your list up to date? one minute, two, ?
 
thanks
