[Med] Fully agree. 

 Applications have been forced to deal with

[Med] I used to know that ICE failure rate for webrtc, for example, is high. I don't know if that situation changed since then.

[Med] You can consider the example of a SIP application that send keepalives even if there no ongoing media session. If that application knows the assigned lifetime, it will adjust according. 

The problem is about the default value of the keepalive message. For example, ipsec uses 20s. Other protocols are setting this value to 15s or 30s. Below an excerpt of the impact on the battery as a function of the default value:

                According to [Power], the consumption of a cellular
                device with a keep-alive interval equal to 20 seconds
                (which is the default value in [RFC3948], for example)
                is 29 mA (2G) / 34 mA (3G).  This consumption is reduced
                to 16 mA (2G) / 24 mA (3G) when the interval is
                increased to 40 seconds, to 9.1 mA (2G) / 16 mA (3G) if
                the interval is equal to 150 seconds, and to 7.3 mA (2G)
                / 14 mA (3G) if the interval is equal to 180 seconds.
                When no keep-alive is issued, the consumption would be
                5.2 mA (2G) / 6.1 mA (3G).  The impact of keepalive
                messages would be more severe if multiple applications
                are issuing those messages (e.g., SIP, IPsec, etc.).
