<div>Hi,<div><br></div><div>Let me assume that you are referring to the uptime example.</div><div><br></div><div>By writing a new ping message, writer becomes active due to the outbound traffic generated by itself. Because the uptime client does not send any message but the ping messages, the writer will become idle soon, and then another new ping message will be written. (i.e. sending a ping message periodically)</div><div><br></div><div>HTH</div></div>
