    In our situation the devices are actually moving objects. They ask for their location. If I cannot send an answer in a timely manner I can as well drop the request or the response I am trying to forward. It has no value any more.

    Besides, above my head sits and application that will resend its messages after about 1 minute if it did not get a response earlier.
