Architected and Default Values for Protocol Machines

Default Protocol Machine Values identifies the recommended default time-out values referenced in the client and server protocol machines. Implementations must provide for default settings of these timers. Applications may overwrite these default values through appropriate API functions.

Reference Name	Protocol	Default Value	Description
TIMEOUT_ACK	CL	1 second	Wait before sending an ack PDU.
TIMEOUT_BROADCAST	CL	5 seconds	Wait for a response to a broadcast PDU.
TIMEOUT_CANCEL	CL	1 second	Wait for a response to a cancel PDU.
TIMEOUT_CANCEL	CO	Infinity	Wait for a response to a cancel PDU.
TIMEOUT_FRAG	CL	2 seconds	Wait for a fack PDU if the no_fack flag was cleared.
TIMEOUT_IDLE	CL	300 seconds	Time for keeping state information about the client.
TIMEOUT_MAX_ALLOC_WAIT	CO	3 seconds	Initial value for wait before retrying association allocation.
TIMEOUT_PING	CL	2 seconds	Wait for a response to a ping PDU.
TIMEOUT_RESEND	CL	2 seconds	Wait for acknowledgement from client before retransmitting a response.
TIMEOUT_SERVER_DISCONNECT	CO	10 seconds	Wait before shutdown of idle connections (only if resources are scarce).
TIMEOUT_WAIT	CL	Infinity	Wait for a response to a request PDU.
