Abstract
A Local Timer Engine (LTE) is disclosed. For an initiator in a computing system, the LTE measures a respective time delay for each of a plurality of routes between the initiator and a plurality of destinations. For each of the plurality of routes, the LTE determines a respective timeout value based on the measured respective time delay for the route and determines a unique memory mapped address identifying the route. The initiator sends a request to the LTE for a timeout value. The LTE determines a proper timeout value and provides the proper timeout value to the initiator.
