       This paper presents a Markov Model used to configure the
       Chen,Toueg and Aguilera's NFD-U/NFD-E failure detector
       algorithm for unsynchronized clocks according to QoS
       requirements. The Markov Model uses the loss burst
       probabilities to capture the message loss burst
       information. The experiments with data gathered from a link
       between two long distance networks show that the proposed
       configurator performs better than the Chen, Toueg and Aguilera
       configurator when long loss bursts occur and performs similarly
       to their configurator when no loss burst occurs.
