3.2.2 Timers

Version vector request time-out: The server tears down connection associations when a client establishes a session, but the client does not request version vectors in a timely fashion. Logically, there is no requirement that the client requests version vectors within a time limit, so the default time-out is 12 hours.

Time-outs on open file handles: When a client requests to initialize a file transfer, the server opens a context handle, which indirectly causes resources, such as file handles, to be kept open on the server. <20>
