What sort of numbers are used in the software? mike ---- forwarded message ---- Received: by multimax.ARPA (4.12/25-eef) id AA02553; Wed, 1 Jul 87 09:02:23 edt Date: Wed, 1 Jul 87 09:02:23 edt From: David KirschenMessage-Id: <8707011302.AA02553@multimax.ARPA> Subject: Arpanet Timeouts Hi - Could you tell me if there is a way to determine if we are seeing a reasonable number of connection timeouts over the Arpanet? We get lots of connections failing, for various applications (mail, ftp, telnet). We'd like to know what the commonly used timeout constant is (i.e., how long should it take when establishing a connection before the initiator just gives up?). Thanks !!
