WebSocket Heartbeat and Retry Template
Generate a local JavaScript heartbeat template with missed-reply limits, capped exponential reconnect delays and full jitter.
About this websocket heartbeat and retry template
Generate a local JavaScript heartbeat template with missed-reply limits, capped exponential reconnect delays and full jitter Performs protocol inspection, IP calculation, and network analysis client-side without sending probes or exposing network topology.
Protocol mechanics & network logic
Enter the WebSocket JSON parameters, generate the schedule and download the JavaScript module. Integrate it with your own fresh WebSocket factory and call start(); use stop() to cancel timers and close it.
Worked network diagnostic scenario
Scenario: Calculate a local WebSocket heartbeat schedule.
Sample input:
Processing: Floor 61 times 0.5 and derive the bounded default pong timeout. With idleTimeoutSeconds 60 and safetyRatio 0.5, the nominal ping interval is 30 seconds: 120 pings/hour before timer delays. The default reply wait is 10 seconds and the miss threshold is 3. Default reconnect windows are 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 16000, 30000, 30000 and 30000 ms; each actual delay is randomly selected within its window.
Illustrative output:
Addressing limits & protocol boundaries
Template input: at most 8192 UTF-8 bytes; only numeric JSON fields. idleTimeoutSeconds: 2–86400; safetyRatio: 0.1–0.9; the ping interval is floored with a 1-second minimum. pongTimeoutSeconds: 0.001 to the ping interval. missedPongs: integer 1–10; baseDelayMs: integer 100–60000; maxDelayMs: integer from baseDelayMs to 300000; maxRetries: integer 1–20. Omitted fields use the shown defaults. This page opens no WebSocket.
Addressing calculations and subnet models in WebSocket Heartbeat and Retry Template follow IETF RFC definitions. Ensure subnet masks and CIDR prefixes match your network topology.
Offline network inspection boundary
Address parsing and CIDR calculations in WebSocket Heartbeat and Retry Template run entirely client-side without probing external IP networks or transmitting routing data.

Frequently asked questions
How is the heartbeat schedule chosen?+
Operational requirements for "How is the heartbeat schedule chosen?" are verified in local memory during execution of WebSocket Heartbeat and Retry Template.
What does exponential backoff with jitter produce?+
Reconnect attempt n starts at n=0: window = min(maxDelayMs, baseDelayMs × 2^n). Full jitter chooses an integer from 0 through window inclusive. The retry limit counts reconnections after the initial attempt, not heartbeats. A zero delay is possible.
Are these real WebSocket Ping/Pong frames?+
Browser JavaScript cannot send WebSocket control Ping/Pong frames. This template sends a text JSON message {"type":"czoa_ping","id":N}; your server must reply {"type":"czoa_pong","id":N}. Only a matching pending id clears the timeout. These are application messages, not protocol control frames. Generation and download stay in this browser. No server, gateway or load balancer is contacted; the downloaded module connects only when integrated and started by you. This is an integration template, not a production reliability guarantee. Browser background timers can be delayed; gateway idle rules may differ. Test authentication, close-code policy, server limits and lifecycle behavior in your environment. One connection attempt has a fixed 10-second timeout. Normal close code 1000 stops retries; other errors retry within the chosen limit. A matching pong resets the retry and consecutive-miss counters.
What does the example generate?+
Security isolation for "What does the example generate?" ensures zero transmission beyond your local workstation.
