1. A method for processing a timeout event, comprising:

  • detecting the timeout event by a first network element, wherein the timeout event is generated due to a lack of response from a second network element;

    determining, by the first network element, whether a threshold for reporting of timeouts is exceeded for the second network element, wherein the threshold is set by a fault management system, wherein the threshold comprises a number of timeout events for the second network element following which the first network element is to send a report to the fault management system;

    sending the report by the first network element to the fault management system when the threshold is exceeded, where the report indicates that the second network element has exceeded the threshold for reporting of timeouts; and

    receiving, by the first network element from the fault management system, a notification of an increase to the threshold for reporting of timeouts.
