Actually, I couldn't find the right option. I could disable keepalives, but that didn't disable pings. Not that this matters for the purposes of this discussion.
Look at those values: • keep_alive_every_foo_secs • keep_alives_enabled • time_for_keep_alive_answerThe first is how often a ping is sent, the second is whether pings should be sent at all and the last is how long a server has time to answer a ping.
In general, I don't think that clients should ever be dropping connections without explicit direction from the user. (Obviously we're talking about clients with a UI and a user to talk to).
I disagree. Sometimes you get disconnected and only noticed that by a ping not being answered - for example, because your IP changes every 24h. This is the only way to reconnect if you don't want to be offline the next day when you go back to your computer.
