How do you handle exponential backoff via reconnect on socket.io?

[aaronkchsu]

I have been told that for the websocket client, in the socket connection retry mechanism it would be important to implement exponential backoff in the client, so as to avoid the backend from becoming overwhelmed when there are sharp new socket connections being attempted.

What settings are best to pass in with socket.io to handle this?
