Once upon a time Adam Wills shaped the electrons to say...
>(hoping for a quick response of ACK or NAK). How long does the PM wait for
>that ACK or NAK (in seconds). By my tests, it looks like 8-10 seconds.

Nope - 3 seconds.

first request to primary
3 second wait
second to primary
3 second wait
third to primary AND secondary
3 second wait
repeat for 7 more tries

A total of 18 requests (10 if only primary is set) over 30 seconds.

How do you get around the fact that ACCOUNTING packets have a completely
different delievery priority?

With the current implementation (which isn't likely to change) It is
possible, and not unheard of in the least, for someone to logout and
log bachk in before before the accounting termination packet gets through.
