Guidelines
This section provides guidelines for using NetBIOS T1, T2, and Ti timers.
-
T1—One to two seconds is typical. This should be greater than the total delay time that the frame might encounter within the sending node, the network, and the receiving node.
-
T2—This generally should be between 80 and 256 msec, and must be less than T1.
-
Ti—This is recommended as being at least ten times the T1 timer. Try values around 30 for the best results.
