system/schemes/default/timeout only applies to reading from open TCP or
UDP ports, directly or indirectly. "Indirectly" refers to situations where
a TCP or UDP port is used in the implementation of another port, such as FTP
or HTTP.
Any other types of timeouts (writing, connecting, closing a TCP port, DNS etc.)
are determined by the operating system (and, in some cases, by the protocol
being used), and are not affected by system/schemes/default/timeout.
