This generally means a connection has been dropped, probably during
reconnect logic. Thus, that is why one of your nodes is going silent
(i.e. because it is no longer communicating). Are you communicating
over a wired or wireless link?

FYI: these sort of Q&A posts are best on answers.ros.org, as there are
more people to provide answers there.
