Quote: can't say bye by exchanging messages; instead timeout or ping throughout conversation

Note

Can't say bye by exchanging messages because can always drop last message -- i.e. never reach state where both sides are sure of knowing each other's state. In practice exchange two messages and wait for timeout. Or if have pinging during the conversation then lack of pinging drops conversation.
