It depends on who closes the connection. The client assumes that if the _server_ closes the connection, then it may be having resource congestion issues. In order to give the server time to recover, the client will delay reconnecting for 3 seconds (with an exponential back off). If, on the other hand, the client was the one that initiated the connection closure, then it will try to reconnect immediately.
