# Keeping the connection alive

To keep the connection alive, a <mark style="color:red;">`Ping`</mark> frame will be sent from the server every 20s, and a <mark style="color:red;">`Pong`</mark> is expected to be received from the client. If a `Pong` is not received within 60s, a <mark style="color:red;">`Close`</mark> frame will be sent and the connection will be closed.

If the server is shutting down, a <mark style="color:red;">`Close`</mark> frame will be sent and then a grace period of 20s will be given before the connection is closed. The client should reconnect after receiving the <mark style="color:red;">`Close`</mark> frame. The client will be reconnected to a server that is not shutting down.
