[erlang-questions] Ho to keep-alive inactive RabbitMQ connections?

[Max Bourinov]

Hi Bob,

I have 1 to 1 architecture as you described. It works fine! But I cannot
understand how it is possible that RabbitMQ client process loses connection
WITHOUT crash? It just ABSOLUTELY silently loses connection and I know
about it from RabbitMQ management interface only.

This is very strange... This is why I asked the List.

Best regards,
Max
