    1. Timeout errors leave client in state where it doesn't know why the timeout occurs, forcing it to restart VPP to recover. (dwallacelf, 13:53:24)
    2. Timeouts are used in order to detect when VPP dies. (dwallacelf, 13:54:30)
    3. Increasing Timeouts is not a viable means of detecting that VPP died in a short period of time. (dwallacelf, 13:55:11)
    4. Discussion about removing timeout and using a keepalive mechanism to determine when VPP has died. (dwallacelf, 13:57:46)
