During our testing of large scale websocket connections going through Amazon ELB, we've found that ELB will timeout idle TCP connections after 60 seconds. Our testing scenarios is one where we want to ramp up 10(s) of 1000s of websocket connections - then, after they are all connected, start them sending request/response messages for some specified duration.
To avoid ELB closing our connection, we'd like to see if we can configure the tomcat plumbing to automatically send ping(s) on some interval. And, the follow-up question: if we can have a ping being sent automatically, will the other end of the pipe respond with a pong?
