ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for preventing gratuitous retransmission of data from being propagated through a network which includes holding data to be retransmitted for a minimum time period. If an acknowledgment occurs while the retransmitted data is still being held, then the retransmitted data is discarded rather than propagated through the network. The invention also provides for selectively holding retransmissions based upon ascertainable factors about the underlying connection activity, such as number of successful transmissions.
