3.5.2 Timers

The Responder (Quick Discovery) role has three timers:

  • Session Inactivity timer: This periodic timer checks each session in the session table for inactivity.

  • Block timer: This periodic timer operates the RepeatBAND network load control algorithm (section 3.5.6.2). It is only active when the enumeration state engine is in the Pausing state.

  • Hello timer: This one-shot timer delays the sending of a Hello frame until RepeatBAND (section 3.5.6.2) determines that it is time to send one.
