IsRemoteReachable(Uri uri, TimeSpan timeout) - timeout parameter is ignored on Android device

[abrasat]

I am testing if a server is reachable in Internet by using this call:

var  inetConnOk = await currConnectivity.IsRemoteReachable(serverUri, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 3));

On an Android tablet which does not have Internet access, it takes more than 10 seconds until the function returns the "false" value, instead of returning after the max. 3 seconds set as timeout.
