Application Timeout
When an error occurs while sending a message to a remote link, it appears to
the sending station as an application timeout because error messages are not
routed back. When an error occurs during routing, it may be dropped.
For example, if an SLC 5/03 controller sends a message to another SLC 5/03
controller, and the second SLC 5/03 controller’s buffers are full, three
things happen:
• The SLC 5/03 controller refuses the message because the buffers are
full.
• The originator detects an application timeout when no reply is received.
• The originator increments its error count.
The SLC 5/03 controller can retry to send the message later. This figure
shows an example of an application timeout.
