3.1.2.1 Session Initialization Timer

This timer regulates the amount of time that both the initiator and the acceptor wait for each other to respond to session initialization messages. A queue manager employs a single instance of this timer. On the initiator, this timer is started after an EstablishConnection Packet (section 2.2.3) message is sent and is stopped after a ConnectionParameters Packet (section 2.2.2) is received. On the acceptor, this timer is started after the EstablishConnection Packet response is sent and is stopped after the ConnectionParameters Packet is received. The duration of this timer MUST be set based on the system configuration, which is implementation-dependent.<43>
