Oh, I don't think not having traffic would cause IOS to disconnected your sessions.
Even though, you could hard code the ARP to check your theory.
As you know, routers work on 'connectionless' way; that is, each packet has an independent life. The fact that there was not a previous packet should not cause the new packet to have problems.
On the other hand, if you type 'clear arp', do a debug ip packet and ping x.x.x.x, you can see that there is encapsulation error before IOS gets the arp reply.
But your application should not be so sensitive to have problems with that and disconnects the session. It sounds more likely an idle timeout.
What do you think?
