I'm waiting several minutes, and I'm using setsockopt() to set the
timeouts fairly low:
        srto_initial = 1000ms
        srto_min = 200ms
        srto_max = 1400ms
        spp_pathmaxrxt = 2
        spp_hbinterval = 1000ms

The network's round trip time (indicated by ping) is on the order of
<0.25ms.
