Abstract

A Method and a system for performing a heartbeat adaptation process are disclosed herein. A computing device detects a condition for initiating the heartbeat adaptation process in accordance with one or more predetermined criteria. In response to detecting the condition, the computing device performs the heartbeat adaptation process by sending, to a server, one or more first heartbeat test packets according to a predefined time interval. If the one or more first heartbeat test packets satisfy one or more test continuation criteria, the computing device: increases the predefined time interval according to a predetermined interval step; and repeats the heartbeat adaptation process using the increased predefined time interval. If the one or more first heart test packages satisfy one or more test termination criteria, the computing device: identifies a stable heartbeat interval according to the predefined time interval; and terminates the heartbeat adaptation process.
