is received, the connection is considered OK. If there are no

 

 

response received after 4 tries, the connection is considered

 

 

to be down.

 

 

HTTP:

packet to the Alive Indicator. If any HTTP DATA from

 

 

the Alive Indicator is received, the connection is

 

 

considered OK. If there are no response received

 

 

after 5 tries, the connection is considered to be

 

 

down.
