|
|
+Configures the optional HeartBeating mechanism for faster failure detection. Keep in
|
|
|
+mind that engaging this mechanism in lossy networks could cause faulty loss declaration
|
|
|
+as the mechanism relies on the network for heartbeating.
|

+So as a rule of thumb use this mechanism if you require improved failure in low to
