TCPIP nodes timeout in milliseconds or in decimal

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

As we are using TCPIP nodes to establish connection and receive data endpoints, the timeout set are used for waiting to establish connection.

When the endpoints are down we have to wait for the given timeout which in some case slows down our system which results in heavy pile up of requests at our end.

If possible we want to reduce the time taken for connecting and sending the data.

    ACE 13.0.2.0 has now delivered this feature - "Support added for decimal timeout values on TCPIP nodes". You can now specify timeout values on TCPIP nodes up to three decimal places, as well as in seconds. For example, to set the timeout to 250 milliseconds, specify 0.250. The default timeout value is still 60 seconds. For more information, see the following TCPIP node topics:
