  But can you clarify who is dropping who (i.e. which end is timing out)?     The message on LEGATO says "dropped by adjacent node" not "dropping adjacent node", which makes it sound as if MIM is timing out, not LEGATO (and then somehow telling LEGATO that, which is another mystery).

  Or is this just a poorly worded message?

Thanks
