This read-write INTEGER (0..420 seconds) specifies, per its source description, how long an ESCON station waits after receiving a packet (when nothing else is queued) before sending its buffered data on to the host, with changes taking effect only the next time the station re-establishes communication with the host. Admins tune this to balance transmission efficiency (batching more data before sending) against latency (how quickly a lone packet reaches the host). For example, lowering this value would reduce latency for isolated, infrequent packets at the cost of potentially sending smaller, less efficient transfers to the host.
