Now the default packet lifetime(CMA_IBOE_PACKET_LIFETIME) is 18.
That means the minimum ack timeout is 2 seconds(2^(18+1)*4us=2.097seconds).
The packet lifetime means the maximum transmission time of packets
on the network, the maximum transmission time of packets is closely
related to the network. 2 seconds is too long for simple lossless networks.
The packet lifetime should allow the user to adjust according to the
network situation.
So add a parameter for the packet lifetime.
