class Ping(ElementBase):

    """
    Given that XMPP is based on TCP connections, it is possible for the
    underlying connection to be terminated without the application's
    awareness. Ping stanzas provide an alternative to whitespace based
    keepalive methods for detecting lost connections.

    Example ping stanza:
    ::

        <iq type="get">
          <ping xmlns="urn:xmpp:ping" />
        </iq>
    """
