Look at the file /etc/diald/standard.filter which defines rules for
keeping the link open based on the particular types of traffic going
through it. IIRC the default one has:
accept tcp 120 tcp.dest=tcp.www
which keeps the link open for two minutes after a packet that looks like
it's part of a web connection has been transmitted.

This keeps the link open for ten minutes after you connect and then for
approximately ten minute intervals thereafter. It's not selective
about the kind of traffic that holds the link open.
