+
+Check the Network Connection
+----------------------------
+
+.. tip:: 
+
+   The SDK's *offline-first* design means that you generally don't
+   need to check the current network connection state. That said, the
+   ``connection_state()`` property is available if your app calls for some
+   indication of connection state.
+
+To check the connection state, you can read the  
+:cpp-sdk:`Sync session instance's <structrealm_1_1internal_1_1bridge_1_1sync__session.html>`
+``connection_state()`` property directly.
+
+.. literalinclude:: /examples/generated/cpp/sync-session.snippet.connection-state.cpp
    :language: cpp
 
+You can also observe the connection state with the 
+:cpp-sdk:`observe_connection_change() <structrealm_1_1internal_1_1bridge_1_1sync__session.html#a38096e71024b3fd252d3356af5eee113>`

+underlying sync session changes its connection state. 
+
+.. literalinclude:: /examples/generated/cpp/sync-session.snippet.observe-connection-change.cpp
+   :language: cpp
+
+If you register a connection change listener, you can unregister it when 
+you're done listening for changes. Call the sync session instance's
+:cpp-sdk:`unregister_connection_change_observer() <structrealm_1_1internal_1_1bridge_1_1sync__session.html#a86b911bc662f02f607c5e9513d80c0c7>`

+The network connection state is distinct from the Device Sync connection state
+that you can check with the ``state()`` method. For more information about
+Sync connection state, refer to the Check the Sync State documentation on 
+this page.
+
+.. _cpp-pause-resume-sync-session:
+
+Pause or Resume a Sync Session
+------------------------------
+
+You can pause and resume the sync session on the realm.
+Pausing a sync session only suspends that realm's sync session. If you have
+more than one open realm, suspend does not affect the sync sessions for 
+other realms.
+
+To pause a sync session, call the Sync session's 
+:cpp-sdk:`pause() <structrealm_1_1internal_1_1bridge_1_1sync__session.html#ab187b267f0391c8262a0edcff32fcc29>`

+
+Manually Reconnect All Sync Sessions
+------------------------------------
+
+Realm automatically detects when a device regains connectivity after being 
+offline and attempts to reconnect using an incremental backoff strategy.
+
+You can choose to manually trigger a reconnect attempt with a sync session's
+:cpp-sdk:`reconnect() <structrealm_1_1internal_1_1bridge_1_1sync__session.html#af5557f2a2ae8869e6a129afc264e8695>` 
+method instead of waiting for the duration of the incremental backoff. This is 
+useful if you have a more accurate understanding of the network conditions 
+and don't want to rely on Realm's automatic reconnect detection.
+
+.. literalinclude:: /examples/generated/cpp/sync-session.snippet.reconnect.cpp
    :language: cpp
+
+When you call this method, the SDK forces all sync sessions to *attempt* to 
+reconnect immediately. This resets any timers used for incremental 
+backoff. 
+
+Calling this method does not guarantee the device can reconnect. If the SDK
+gets a fatal error, or if the device is already connected or is trying to
+connect, calling this method has no effect.
+
+.. important:: Cannot Reconnect Within Socket Read Timeout Duration
+
+   Realm has an internal default socket read timeout of 2 minutes, where 
+   Realm will time out if a read operation does not receive any data 
+   within a 2-minute window. If you call ``reconnect()`` within that window, 
+   the SDK does *not* attempt to reconnect.
