Intrinsic timeouts don't really make sense with async sockets. Your code isn't blocked waiting for the send or receive to complete, so a timeout really doesn't have any place to go.
Normally, if you want to track timeouts on async socket calls, then another thread keeps track of how long the transaction has been in progress--a background thread using a WaitHandle to wait a specific amount of time Or this could be accomplished with a Timer.Tick event handler (Timers are a very limit resource).
