I disagree. I've not seen a netsplit in months, but clients constantly timing out and rejoining is a fact of life.

That is a different problem, clients can always have bad connections that is not solved by UDP/HTTP.

Well http is a short lived request/response.

Sockets need keep alives and resources allocated et al.
