PING is missing #5

Closed abma closed 10 years ago

abma commented 10 years ago

imo at some point it should be enforced that clients ping, as it seems the only good way to detect dead clients.

advise is to send a ping every 30 seconds.

(i hope i'm right that ping is missing in flobby, but afaik you said that...)

maybe as note: PING is needed to detect "dead" clients (caused by crash, router failure, badly closed connections), without it, the server can't probably detect disconnects.
