I was looking at some of the ULPs. SDP sets the timeout to 20, without explanation. DAPL has a #define (set to 20 saying it is 4 sec in a comment). simple example? Set to 20, no reason. To me, it ends up just being this opaque value. Maybe some pre#defines in CM would make it clearer. Unfortunately, advertising milliseconds or jiffies will just confuse consumers since the timeout cannot be that granular. -tduffy
