Reconnecting(from https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview/connecting) :

Once an established connection drops, attempt to reconnect immediately.
If the reconnect fails, slow down your reconnect attempts according to the type of error experienced:

//	These problems are generally temporary and tend to clear quickly.
