1. A method in a data processing system for setting a time out value, the method comprising:
- identifying a path from a set of paths from the data processing system to a destination to form an identified path, wherein the identified path has a largest latency in the set of paths;
routing data to the destination using the identified path;
measuring latency for the data sent on the identified path to form a measured latency; and
setting the time out value using the measured latency, wherein the time out value is used to initiate a computer implemented process.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for setting a time out value. A path is identified from a set of paths from the data processing system to a destination to form an identified path, wherein the identified path has a largest latency in the set of paths. The data is routed to the destination using the identified path. The latency is measured for the data sent on the identified path to form a measured latency. The time out value is set using the measured latency, wherein the time out value is used to initiate a computer implemented process.
