[rabbitmq-discuss] does rabbitmq server close connections?

[S Ahmed]

With 100's of computers connected to rabbitmq with persistent connections,
would this pose any problems?

Does it time-out by default?

Why use a heartbeat?  Is it to re-establish if the heartbeat fails?

Would it be better for clients to close connections and only open a
connection when necessary?

For reading messages we need persistent connections.

But for writing, and I can see how we could potentially only open a
connection to write a message when required.
