The value of this field can be specified in microseconds. This field signifies the max allowed time-out a subagent can request during registration; e.g., when the Master Agent sends a request to a subagent. It waits for some time-out to receive the response. This time-out can be specified in the registration file or can also be set using dynamic registration. If an agent sets this time-out outrageously high, it can create problems for the Master Agent and other agents. To avoid such a problem, the Master Agent can have a policy of specifying a maximum value for which the Master Agent will wait for a response from the subagent. This maximum value of time-out is specified with this variable.
