Hi, The failover protocol is primarily meant for connections to failover to another broker if the primary broker is down and not necessarily to deal with connections that have closed sockets on the broker due to inactivity.
The fresh connection though may be established with a different broker and if there are many such connections, then there is a cost to the clean up and re-establishing of fresh connections. The better option i to use keep-alives where you do not incur such costs and keep your existing connection to the broker for as long as the broker is up and running.
