The Timeout Report presents time-out timer statistics for transport and answer commands.
This report is most relevant for enhanced sliding window or TCP/IP window protocols that
adapt their time-out timers based on measured round-trip delays. Because the sliding window
algorithms acknowledge each packet, they have an opportunity to measure round-trip packet
delay and use that delay to adjust the retransmission time out timer. The timer is only sampled
when blocked packets are retransmitted.
Retransmit Timeout (MS)—Average, Maximum
Round Trip Time (MS)—Average, Maximum
The average and maximum timeout before the retransmission of
the packet.
The average and maximum round trip delay time for a packet to
get to a destination.
