Abstract
Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for retransmission of data in streaming protocols are described herein. Embodiments enable efficient retransmission of dropped packet data in guaranteed delivery or request-response data transfer protocols such as TCP. In particular, embodiments provide efficient retransmission of dropped packet data based on the short and/or long term historical reliability of the underlying client connection. An embodiment includes maintaining, for one or more clients in a client-server architecture, data representing connection characteristics for one or more client-server connections. Based on collected short-term and long-term client connection characteristics, an efficient data packet retransmission scheme is determined to optimize use of the connection for retransmitting dropped packet data.
