  • Patent number: 8422370
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to determine an average rate of duplicate packets per connection for packets received by a node over an interface. The mechanism selects a connection from the connections established over the interface, determines that a rate of duplicate packets for the selected connection exceeds the average rate of duplicate packets by a threshold percentage, and sends a message to a transmitter of the duplicate packets over the connection to increase a timeout interval to retransmit packets.

  • Publication number: 20090323527
    Abstract: Methods and arrangements of network communications are discussed. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to determine an average rate of duplicate packets per connection for packets received by a node over an interface. The embodiment may involve selecting a connection from the connections established over the interface, determining that a rate of duplicate packets for the selected connection exceeds the average rate of duplicate packets by a threshold percentage, and sending a message to a transmitter of the duplicate packets over the connection to increase a timeout interval to retransmit packets. Another embodiment may provide an apparatus for increasing a timeout interval to retransmit packets. Still another embodiment may provide a computer program produce for increasing a timeout interval to retransmit packets.
