Re: shim - transport/app communication





Shim-aware transports/applications could also emit periodic keepalives when they're otherwise idle so the shim knows it shouldn't remove state yet. (In fact many applications and/or TCP already do so.)



That is typically done as a hack to keep NAT-boxen from ditching you right? Some applications do that, others simply break.

I believe that keeping applications shim-unaware is a worthy goal.
