Maybe I don't get your point, but have you seen that there is a 15 min pause
between the Overvie information and the timeout? In this time there has been
no communication between leafnode and tin.

Shouldn't tin recognize leafnode's message like it is?

Thanks for thinking about this and maybe help to both parties ;-)
