mod_s2s_keepalive: Use timestamp as iq @id RFC 6120 implies that the id attribute must be unique within a stream. This should fix problems with remote servers that enforce uniqueness and don't answer duplicated ids. If it doesn't do that, then at least you can get a guesstimate at round-trip time from the difference between the result iq stanza and the timestamp it was logged without having to go look for when it was sent, or needing to keep state.

This module is an experiment about a more graceful shutdown process.

Why
===

When shutting down, a number of sessions, connections and other things
are teared down. Due to all these things happening very quickly,
sometimes e.g. client unavailable notifications don't make it to all
remote contacts because the server-to-server connections are teared down
just after.

How
===

This module works by breaking the shutdown process into separate steps
with a brief pause between them.

It goes something like this

1.  Stop accepting new client connections.
2.  Close all client connections.
3.  Fire event for everything else.
4.  Tell `net.server` to quit the main loop.
5.  ???
6.  Still here? Kill itself.
