Abstract

Media and system are provided for monitoring and adjusting timeout parameters in devices to prevent or reduce timeout scenarios for the devices. A dynamic timeout management server (DTMS) monitors wait times and behaviors of devices to implement an optimum timeout parameter that will prevent the occurrence of a timeout. When timeouts occur for a particular device, the DTMS changes the amount of time in the timeout parameter and communicates this new timeout parameter to relevant devices to prevent a timeout. The timeout parameter or new timeout parameter is stored in a global centralized timeout database as well as a local or regional timeout database.
