The proposed wording in the current draft looks okay. It explains to the reader that establishing a TCP/IP connection is subject to an operating system timeout. It gives a sense of what that timeout might be, it's not hours or days, it's tens of seconds. I don't think we should attempt to list specific timeouts for specific operating system versions and configurations.
