• How to configure the maximum time taken to establish a binding
• Binding establishment timings
• Establish bindings

policies:binding_establishment:initial_iteration_delay
Time, in milliseconds, between the first and second attempt to establish a binding.
Defaults to 100 milliseconds.

policies:binding_establishment:backoff_ratio
Degree to which delays between binding retries increase from one retry to the next. Defaults to 2.

policies:binding_establishment:max_binding_iterations
Number of times a client can try to establish a binding before raising a TRANSIENT exception. Defaults to 5.

policies:binding_establishment:max_forwards
Number of forward attempts that are allowed during binding establishment. Defaults to 20.

policies:binding_establishment:relative_expiry
Time, in milliseconds, allowed to establish a binding.

policies:binding_establishment:initial_iteration_delay = 100ms
policies:binding_establishment:backoff_ratio = 2
policies:binding_establishment:max_binding_iterations = 5
policies:binding_establishment:max_forwards = 20
policies:binding_establishment:relative_expiry = 1000ms

• When the first attempt is not successful after 1 second (relative_expiry), the client will wait 100 milliseconds (initial_iteration_delay) before trying again.
• When this second attempt is not successful after 1 second (relative_expiry), the client will wait 200 milliseconds (previous delay * backoff_ratio) before trying again.
• When this third attempt is not successful after 1 second (relative_expiry), the client will wait 400 milliseconds (previous delay * backoff_ratio) before trying again.
• When this fourth attempt is not successful after 1 second (relative_expiry), the client will wait 800 milliseconds (previous delay * backoff_ratio) before trying again.
• Finally, when this fifth attempt is not successful after 1 second (relative_expiry), the client will return with a TRANSIENT error.

The above timings total 6500 milliseconds. This is the maximum amount of time the client will take to establish a binding, before throwing a transient exception.

Note that the server may throw other exceptions during the above procedure, which will greatly reduce the time taken before the client reports an exception.
