> If you do some reading on how antenna on phones work combined with websockets heartbeat ping/pong and you should get the idea.

The implication is that the ping/pong keeps the system active when it wouldn't otherwise be necessary, but else are you receiving data or detecting lost connection with the other mechanisms? The lower layers have their own keepalives, so what's different?

I looked into it a little since it didn't make sense to me, unless you're comparing apples and oranges, but the only research I could find either didn't seem to support your stance or compared WebSockets to the alternative of just simply not being able to receive data in a timely manner.
