The way it works is, when a first message is sent to the server, ping 
rpc is sent to server and a 42 seconds timer is started by default (It 
can be changed with network.ping-timeout).
           If the ping response comes it will stop the earlier timer and 
will start a 42 second timer again for next ping message.
           If the ping response doesn't come in 42 seconds timer expires 
at that point if there was no transport activity where some other 
messages were sent/received the transport gets disconnected and 
reconnect is attempted. Otherwise it think the ping response may come 
after some more time so delays the timer by 42 more seconds to see if 
the response comes.
