Enumerator
DDS_AUTOMATIC_LIVELINESS_QOS	[default] The infrastructure will automatically signal liveliness for DDSDataWriter entities at least as often as required by the DDSDataWriter's lease_duration. A DDSDataWriter with this setting does not need to take any specific action to be considered alive. The DDSDataWriter is only 'not alive' when the participant terminates or when a network problem prevents the current participant from contacting that remote participant.
DDS_MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT_LIVELINESS_QOS	RTI Connext DDS Micro will assume that as long as at least one DDSDataWriter belonging to the DDSDomainParticipant (or the DDSDomainParticipant itself) has asserted its liveliness, then the other DDSDataWriter entities belonging to that same DDSDomainParticipant are also alive. The user application takes responsibility to signal liveliness to RTI Connext DDS Micro either by calling DDSDomainParticipant::assert_liveliness, or by calling DDSDataWriter::assert_liveliness, or FooDataWriter::write on any DDSDataWriter belonging to the DDSDomainParticipant.
DDS_MANUAL_BY_TOPIC_LIVELINESS_QOS	RTI Connext DDS Micro will only assume liveliness of the DDSDataWriter if the application has asserted liveliness of that DDSDataWriter itself. The user application takes responsibility to signal liveliness to RTI Connext DDS Micro using the DDSDataWriter::assert_liveliness method, or by writing some data.
