  Set it to a value which is reasonable.  What "reasonable" means depends on your situation.

  i.e. a busy server may *normally* have thousands of packets outstanding.  A small server may normally have 10 packets outstanding.

  If the home server is dead, then it has no outstanding packets.  And therefore the outstanding packet counter is zero.

  Until it either responds to packets (which lowers the outstanding counter), or it is marked as dead (which sets the counter to zero).

  i.e. it does what makes sense.
