No - I think this code path is used later after the database
descriptions have been exchanged.

Look at "start_sending_data_description_packets()" at the end you will
see "start_rxmt_timer()". Please note that the slave side of the
transaction does *not* retransmit.

By the way the retransmission is not every second, it's every five
seconds and is taken from the configuration variable
"retransmit-interval".
