Abstract
A packet splicer receives, from a first server of a plurality of servers, a first request for retransmission of an uplink packet that was received from a client and replicated to the plurality of servers. The plurality of servers is running concurrent instances of a control plane application configured to process information in the uplink packet. The packet splicer transmits the first request for retransmission of the uplink packet to the client. The packet splicer bypasses transmission of a second request for retransmission of the uplink packet received from a second server of the plurality of servers. In some cases, the packet splicer receives, from the client, a request for retransmission of a downlink packet that was redundantly transmitted by the plurality of servers. The packet splicer replicates the request for retransmission of the downlink packet to the plurality of servers.
