Description

When two secure participants discover each other, they drop the non-secure channel used for PDP, and establish instead a secure connection through their SimplePDPEndpointsSecure. But since in the secure case TRANSIENT_LOCAL durability is used to share data Ps, there is no periodic data transmission which can be used to assert liveliness. As a consequence, liveliness is lost if there is no (user) data traffic between the participants.

With changes introduced in this PR, it is attempted to solve the issue by sending heartbeats periodically, with the same period data Ps are sent in the non-secure case.

@Mergifyio backport 3.4.x 3.2.x 2.14.x
