So I'm sitting here sniffing packets on m'box, and I noticed that AIM sends out "Keep Alives" every 30 seconds -- even when I'm not running the program.
Is there any reason for this, or is something fishy going on?
Edit: Also, there are "Ping" messages over the YMSG (Yahoo Messenger) protocol every 30 seconds. I've never used YMSG before . . . and am confused.
