3.1.6.1 Idle Timer

This timer is active only when there are no Connection objects in both the Outgoing Connection Table and the Incoming Connection Table. When this timer associated with a Session object expires (the maximum number of MTAG_PING messages have been sent), an implementation of this protocol MUST request a forced session teardown for the underlying transports protocol Session object specified in [MS-CMPO]. As there are no Connection objects in both the Outgoing Connection Table and the Incoming Connection Table, it is not required to inform the higher-layer protocol of the teardown.
