This may be true for upstream MAAS (actually python-tx-tftp) but in the
packaged version all of the timeouts are 1s - see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1155556 so it's not (1, 3, 7) but (1,
1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

The actual values of the timeouts aren't relevant for this bug, since the
issue (at least for me) was faulty networking configuration.
