Difference between MinimumTimeout and MaximumTimeout

In the Photon server configuration, I notice that there is a MinimumTimeout and a MaximumTimeout field. What is the difference between these two? I've never seen timeouts specified as a min and max amount.

We are seeing some timeouts from various clients and before I tweaked these values, I'd like to understand their differences, and why one wouldn't just set them to the same amount.

Thanks in advance!

    The MinimumTimeout and MaximumTimeout are only used for UDP / ENet. A client can be disconnected any time if it does not send ACKs for the "MinimumTimeout"-timespan, at lastest after the "MaximumTimeout" period.

    The actual timeout is calculated inernally, based on the peer's roundtrip time and a quite complex retry logic.
