3.1.2.6 Timer Events

When the ping set timer expires, the object resolver SHOULD assume that the client is either dead or is unreachable and MUST perform the following:

• For each OID in the ping set entry:

  • It MUST look up the OID entry.

  • It MUST decrement the reference count of the OID entry held by the SETID entry.

  • If the reference count drops to zero:

    • It MUST remove the OID entry.

    • It MUST instruct the object exporter of the OID to reclaim the object.

• It MUST remove the ping set entry from the SETID table.
