We need to transmit a packet every so often to act as a keepalive for the
peer (which has a timeout from the last time it received a packet) and also
to prevent any intervening firewalls from closing the route.
Do this by resetting a timer every time we transmit a packet. If the timer
ever expires, we transmit a PING ACK packet and thereby also elicit a PING
RESPONSE ACK from the other side - which prevents our last-rx timeout from
expiring.
The timer is set to 1/6 of the last-rx timeout so that we can detect the
other side going away if it misses 6 replies in a row.
This is particularly necessary for servers where the processing of the
service function may take a significant amount of time.
