If 4 the ping is not acknowledged by the other side within a certain period, the 5 connection will be closed. Note that pings are only necessary when there's no 6 activity on the connection. 7 8 For how to configure keepalive, see 9 https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive for the options. 10 11 ## Why do I need this? 12 13 Keepalive can be useful to detect TCP level connection failures. A particular 14 situation is when the TCP connection drops packets (including FIN). It would 15 take the system TCP timeout (which can be 30 minutes) to detect this failure. 16 Keepalive would allow gRPC to detect this failure much sooner. 17 18 Another usage is (as the name suggests) to keep the connection alive. For 19 example in cases where the L4 proxies are configured to kill "idle" connections. 20 Sending pings would make the connections not "idle". 21 22 ## What should I set? 23 24 It should be sufficient for most users to set [client 25 parameters](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive) as a [dial 26 option](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc#WithKeepaliveParams). 27 28 ## What will happen? 29 30 (The behavior described here is specific for gRPC-go, it might be slightly 31 different in other languages.) 32 33 When there's no activity on a connection (note that an ongoing stream results in 34 __no activity__ when there's no message being sent), after `Time`, a ping will 35 be sent by the client and the server will send a ping ack when it gets the ping. 36 Client will wait for `Timeout`, and check if there's any activity on the 37 connection during this period (a ping ack is an activity). 38 39 ## What about server side? 40 41 Server has similar `Time` and `Timeout` settings as client. Server can also 42 configure connection max-age. See [server 43 parameters](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive#ServerParameters) 44 for details. 45 46 ### Enforcement policy 47 48 [Enforcement 49 policy](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive#EnforcementPolicy) is 50 a special setting on server side to protect server from malicious or misbehaving 51 clients. 52 53 Server sends GOAWAY with ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM and close the connection when bad 54 behaviors are detected: 55 - Client sends too frequent pings 56 - Client sends pings when there's no stream and this is disallowed by server 57 config
