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.
