if an NMS timeout and retires(repeats the request), it might actually get
the response for the first request when it can actually think it is getting
for the nth repeat request it just made :)

How does the Master agent react to repeat requests ? Does it identify it. If
it does, does it ignore the responses for the earlier requests. Does it
ignore the later requests/responses etc.
