5 Timeouts in Lustre are handled by grouping connections into classes,
6 thus the timeout appropriate for a client connection to an OST is a
7 common property for all the OSTs on that client. That timeout may

9 the classes and how they are managed will wait for now.
11 Every request message indicates a timeout value and every reply answers
12 with the value the service will honor. Initial connection requests
13 propose a value for the timeout, and subsequent requests and replies
14 pass that value back and forth as part of the RPC descriptor
20 Closely related to the timeouts in Lustre are the service times that
21 are expect and observed for each connection class. A request will
22 always list the service time as 0 in the RPC descriptor
23 ('pb_service_time'). The reply lists the time the server actual to
