IPX watchdog packets
over WAN links
A problem with IPX watchdog packets occurs when communication between cli-
ents and a server is over a dial-up (switched) WAN or ISDN link. If a number of
clients are operating over the link, the link may never get the chance to become
inactive and so the operating costs can be high. In addition, if the link is brought
down for some other reason, the client sessions may be terminated prematurely.
