Description

When setting up a federation link, the destination broker never checks to see if it's missed heartbeats from its peer (the source broker). As such, if network connectivity is lost to the source broker, the destination broker continues to believe that the link is operational. To fix this, the destination broker should verify that it is still receiving heartbeats, and forcefully close the connection to the source broker if it isn't.
