A connection will time out if no packets are sent or received for a period
longer than the time negotiated using the max_idle_timeout transport parameter;
see {{termination}}. However, state in middleboxes might time out earlier than
that. Though REQ-5 in {{?RFC4787}} recommends a 2 minute timeout interval,
experience shows that sending packets every 30 seconds is necessary to prevent
the majority of middleboxes from losing state for underlying-transport flows
