When the client application disconnects from the EDF Server, it is recommended that the client issue a disconnect request instead of simply closing the socket connection. This will allow the server to perform proper cleanup before disconnecting the session. See Client Commands.
Also if the EDF Server does not receive anything from the client for an extended period of time, the session will timeout and disconnect the client. The default timeout is currently 2 minutes and can be changed by editing dge.xml
