Wait, is "heartbeat" really just a client thing?

I thought it was every 30 seconds, not 60!

I thought it was a client connection, but I can't remember if it was every 60 seconds or if that's just a detail I mixed up.

I feel like "heartbeat" refers to a regular check-in, but I can't recall if it's 5 minutes or something else.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think it was about how often the connection happens. Was it every 60 seconds?

I think "heartbeat" might be related to a periodic connection, but I'm not sure if it's specifically to the server or client.

Okay, let me see here. A "heartbeat" is some kind of regular connection, but I'm not sure if it's the client or the server initiating it. I'll have to weigh the options carefully before answering.

Ah, I remember learning about heartbeats in my networking class. I'm pretty confident this is referring to a periodic client connection to check in with the server. I'll select that option.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know "heartbeat" is a term used in networking, but I'm not totally clear on the specifics. I'll have to think it through step-by-step.

This seems like a straightforward networking question. I'll think through the options carefully and choose the one that best matches the description of "heartbeat".

Heartbeat? More like a flat-line if you ask me. But I'm still going with A, the obvious choice here.

Random server connections? That's just weird. I'm going with A, the classic periodic client-server heartbeat.
