aliveTimeoutCorrection: number;
```

## Default Value

## Remarks

A server is dropped from the cluster when no new announcement arrives within its advertised timeout plus this correction. Raise it on lossy networks to avoid dropping healthy servers. It has no effect when [UDPClusterManagerOptions.useAliveCheck](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.udpclustermanageroptions.usealivecheck/) is disabled.
