About hearbeat messages: a peer sends heartbeat messages to peers it is
connected to after periods of 3s of inactivity (i.e. when there is no
stick-table to synchronize for 3s). After a successful peer protocol
handshake between two peers, if one of them does not send any other peer
protocol messages (i.e. no heartbeat and no stick-table update messages)
during a 5s period, it is considered as no more alive by its remote peer
which closes the session and then tries to reconnect to the peer which
has just disappeared.
