TCP retransmits data that it thinks is not delivered. If there is a network problem downstream (not at the end hosts), and you try to reconnect, you may end up in the same situation as trying to retransmit. Overlay networks try to route around network problems to provide alternative paths. But that again is a whole list of references ;) Cheers Aniruddha
