Hi Iljitsch,

So what I meant more was that if we use keep-alives at the multi6
layer, then perhaps this could be something that the upper layer
could set the keep-alive behavior. However, I still don't know if
you are suggesting that we use keep-alives at the multi6 layer
(in some circumstances) or if you would kick this up to the application
layer.
IMHO: In a modular multi6 design, this shouldn't be prescribed.
The connectivity detection component might use keep-alives on Tuesdays,
SNMP traps on Wednesdays, and hints from the ULP the rest of the week.
This really should not become an architectural choice.
