[mnet-devel] Re: [mnet-cvs]calculate timeouts according to size of sent message

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

After talking about this patch with Arno, it occurred to me that timeouts have 
no effect on response messages (e.g. the feared "are there messages response"), 
only on initiating messages.  Therefore, I think we should put timeouts back to 
mu + 6 * sigma, or even the one that has been the most tested over the last 
months: mu + 2 * sigma.

Regards,

Zooko
