Abstract
The present disclosure relates to techniques for processing data requests using multiple request timers. An example method includes sending a request for data to an external device and starting a first request timer using a first request timeout value, the first request timeout value specifying a first amount of time to wait for receiving data that is responsive to the request. When first data responsive to the request is received prior to expiration of the first request timer, the method includes starting a second request timer using a second request timeout value, the second request timeout value specifying a second amount of time to wait for receiving additional data that is further responsive to the request. The method further includes determining whether the request is unsuccessful based upon expiration of the first request timer or the second request timer.
