Set Deadlines to Avoid Indefinite Blocking
Establishing deadlines in TCP connections is crucial for effectively managing communication and avoiding indefinite blocking. By enabling deadlines, every message received can push the deadline forward, giving a clear 10-minute window for expected replies. If no message is received within this timeframe, the connection can be terminated. Implementing a ping-pong mechanism allows for proactive communication, ensuring timely responses. Without explicit deadlines, connections can block indefinitely, leading to potential issues; thus, it is essential to configure both read and write deadlines in network connections, particularly with HTTP clients that typically default to an indefinite timeout.
