METHOD FOR DETERMINING A TIMEOUT DELAY IN A NETWORK

摘要

The invention concerns a method for determining a remote timeout parameter in a network comprising a link between a first bus (A) and a third bus (C), wherein the link is implemented through a first and a second portal connected respectively to the first and the third bus, and wherein the link is modelized as a second bus (B) connected to the first bus and the third bus through respective bridges (I, II); the method comprising the steps, at the level of the first bridge portal of, upon solicitation to provide its contribution to a timeout for a request subaction: (a) determining whether a destination node of the request subaction is located on the link or not; (b) in the affirmative, adding to the timeout contribution: the first bridge portal's maximum request subaction processing time and link's maximum transmission time; (c) in the negative, adding, to the timeout contribution: the first bridge portal's maximum request subaction processing time and half of the link's maximum transmission time. The invention also concerns a method similar to the above for determining the timeout contribution of bridges for response subactions.
