The keepalive program has two procedures: PING, and PONG. Both are used only in asynchronous messages and the sender doesn't wait for any reply. However, the party which receives PING messages is supposed to react by sending PONG message the other party, but no explicit binding between PING and PONG messages is made. For backward compatibility neither server nor client are allowed to send keepalive messages before checking that remote party supports them.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
