Having a keep alive max of only 18h 12m and 15s can be a real limit for constrained IoT device that for instance needs to send a single message per day. A possible solution is to create a new CONNECT flags byte (anyway required to support security). So the current flag on bit 7 instead of reserved should be:
- 0=no additional flags
- 1= another byte of flags with the following structure
- Reserved (7)
- Reserved (6)
- Reserved (5)
- Reserved (4)
- Reserved (3)
- Reserved (2)
- Reserved (1)
- KeepAliveUOM
- 0 = seconds
- 1 = minutes
