Hi Arun...

As has also been given in the Draft, the Length of the Heart Data is variable
and the Data has only local relevance.
The Draft does not even mandate that TimeStamp and/or Sequence Number be sent.
On receiving the Heart-Beat Message the Peer replies with a Beat Ack, with the
same HeartBeat Data as it had received.
It is for the Entity that had sent the HearBeat to now verify that Beat Ack has
the same Data Length/Data as it had sent in HeartBeat.

Regards
Anshoo.
