The only way I have found to implement this is to create a socket which will
be in charge to check the comunication with a remote server application.
For that , you need to get a time procedure that will send for instance a
connection request every minutes to the other side, then if no connection
request has been accepted then consider the remote socket has down.
I do not know if its a proper way doing this but at leat it works
