Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes establishing, for each hop in pathways of a network, a relation between a desired reliability and channel error. Based on the established relations, a maximum number of copies of packets to send from a source in the network to a target in the network is determined. An overhead associated with sending packets from the source to the target in the network is determined for each of the hops, and a first sum of such overheads is also determined. An overhead associated with sending an acknowledgement packet to the source is determined for each of the hops. A second sum is a sum of the overheads associated with sending the acknowledgement packet to the source. In response to a determination that a sum of the first sum and the second sum is less than a predetermined threshold value, the pathways are used.
