SEND for Keep Alives
Relay uses SEND requests to determine liveness of a session.
Endpoints periodically generate empty SEND requests if they have no other traffic to send.
Several people have objected to this, and prefer a separate keep alive method.
Relay does not know difference between a “real” SEND and a “keep alive” Send. Adding a new method would change this.
