Abstract
A method and system for determining timers in a High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) Traffic Manager (HTM) state machine are disclosed. According to one aspect, the invention provides for determining a transit delay between two nodes by sending a first packet having a delay measurement byte to a second node that is on a link between the first node and the second node. A measured delay value is determined based on the delay between a time of sending the first packet to the second node and receiving a second packet from the second node. The timer values of the HTM state machine are set based on the measured delay value.
