Hi,


You know about openssh, and the ClientAliveInterval messages
that it sends (keepalive at openssh.com)?  The client is
supposed to send data on the channel before N of these
arrive.

It seems that libssh2 drops these messages.
But if the NETCONF manager wanted to answer,
what can it send to the agent?  whitespace?
an XML comment?

Is the agent supposed to handle (discard) non-PDU messages
received on its channel? What is the most interoperable
way to send data to the agent without actually issuing
an <rpc> and wasting resources?


thanks,
Andy
