Part of the reason IRLP has that rule is because their nodes perform
nightly node updates that won't happen while the node is connected.
Generally, Allstar does not have that as a blanket system wide
policy. It is possible that some node owners may have more stringent
polices, but I've never run across one yet.<br>

<div>It seems that in the IRLP world it's customary (and
considered good etiquette) to have a fairly short (like 20
minute) connection timeout timer. No activity from your node
within 20 minutes and the connection will drop. I guess they
expect if you're going to dial up a node/reflector that you're
going to be making a contact, not just listening. I've read
the policy on at least one reflector that says they will ban
you for circumventing the connection timeout. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this also standard in the Allstar world? I don't believe
my node times out at all. And I tend to favor camping out on
various hubs just to listen. But I want to follow whatever the
best practice is.</div>
