[Csci551-talk] Assumption: When to start timeout

[Michael Stephens]

I assume that the timeout counter should start when the client
"queues" a message to be sent, not when the message is actually sent
after delays.  In our system we are simulating delays in the network
connection; in a real system the client would probably not be aware of
such delays.

1. Is it valid to assume that the timeout counter should start when
the client "queues" a message, not when the message is actually sent?
2. Should we log the time that the client "queues" a message to be
sent as well as the time the message is actually sent after delays, or
only the time the message is actually sent?
