Kinds of liveliness.

DDS_LivelinessQosPolicy

Enumerator:

DDS_AUTOMATIC_LIVELINESS_QOS	[default] The infrastructure will automatically signal liveliness for the DDS_DataWriter (s) at least as often as required by the DDS_DataWriter (S) lease_duration. A DDS_DataWriter with this setting does not need to take any specific action in order to be considered 'alive.' The DDS_DataWriter is only 'not alive' when the participant to which it belongs terminates (gracefully or not), or when there is a network problem that prevents the current participant from contacting that remote participant. Only DDS_DURATION_INFINITE is supported for lease_duration. Finite lease_duration is not supported with this liveliness setting.
DDS_MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT_LIVELINESS_QOS	RTI Connext Micro will assume that as long as at least one DDS_DataWriter belonging to the DDS_DomainParticipant (or the DDS_DomainParticipant itself) has asserted its liveliness, then the other DataWriters belonging to that same DDS_DomainParticipant are also alive. Only DDS_DURATION_INFINITE is supported for lease_duration. Finite lease_duration is not supported with this liveliness setting. The user application takes responsibility to signal liveliness to RTI Connext Micro by calling DDS_DataWriter_assert_liveliness, or FooDataWriter_write on any DDS_DataWriter belonging to the DDS_DomainParticipant.
DDS_MANUAL_BY_TOPIC_LIVELINESS_QOS	RTI Connext Micro will only assume liveliness of the DDS_DataWriter if the application has asserted liveliness of that DDS_DataWriter itself. The user application takes responsibility to signal liveliness to RTI Connext Micro using the DDS_DataWriter_assert_liveliness function, or by writing some data.
