Very chatty doesn't seem to adhere to beat?

the machines are completely idle with no traffic going through the tunnel

as soon as tunnel is established the MTU discovery and BEATS start going over 100 packets a second even though I set beat to 1000ms.

any ideas why? Is it due to the losslimit so it is probing frequently for that?

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the issue :)
You are using an unstable version and the beat option has not been reintegrated (yet).
Also, I recommend you to use the stable version while waiting for the next release.
I will leave the issue open in the meantime, for others.

Thanks.
I really like some of the new features on master. It looks like you switched from milliseconds to microseconds but didn't update the parsing in argz.c yet. Am I on the right track? if so I will test this properly and pull request.

I also had a problem that I configured both ends of the tunnel with paths. It really does not like that. Just configuring one end solved the packet rate problem. I still implemented a few fixes in terms of scaling the beat, kxtimeout, keepalive.
