MaxTx

For inbound Heartbeat and TestRequest messages sent by the client, the FH will allow a fixed maximum allowed message transmission time (MaxTx), currently set to one second, before treating the message as 'missed'. This is used to allow for some degree of hysteresis WRT message delivery latencies.

The client may specify it's own MaxTx value and logic when monitoring inbound messages sent by the FH.

In both cases only the local clock is used as reference.
