With all regards to your theory, but this would mean for
e.g. impulse 320,340,20
that diald would shut down the link after:
  a. keeping the link up for a minimum of 320 seconds, then proceed to
  b. waiting for 340 seconds (secondary-duration) and finally
  c. checking if the link is idle in the next 20 seconds (fuzz).

So, the first idle check would be after 320+340=660 seconds!

Now, I've run a test:
For me, diald shut down the link after about 335 seconds if the link is
idle. Just a couple of seconds before initial-duration + fuzz (320+20)
time out. However, there should not anything such as initial+fuzz...

Can you explain this behaviour by reading the man-page?
Well, I cannot.

Regards, Walter
