Abstract
Methods and systems are described for sharing information for detecting an idle connection. In one aspect, a second node receives a packet in a connection. A portion in the packet is detected identifying metadata for a period, detectable by a first node. The second node modifies a timeout associated with the connection based on the metadata. In another aspect, a first node receives information for detecting a period. A packet is generated including a portion identifying metadata for the period based on the information, and sent to the second node.
