Backoff strategy

The probe's backoff strategy is to try to reestablish the connection at successive intervals of one second, two seconds, four seconds, eight seconds, and so on, up to a maximum of 4096 seconds. When the maximum retry interval is reached, the probe shuts down, restarts, and tries to log in again. The backoff strategy remains in place until a successful login occurs.

You can also use the ReconnectionAttempts and ReconnectionInterval properties to override the backoff strategy. The ReconnectionAttempts property specifies the maximum number of times that the probe attempts to reconnect to the device. The ReconnectionInterval property specifies the time interval (in seconds) between successive reconnection attempts.

If the connection is terminated by the remote host, the connection is also closed by the probe on its host machine. The operating system is not allowed to close it.
