Intermediary facilitated packet loss recovery

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, using one or more computing devices, one or more packets of a plurality of packets transmitted from a first node at an intermediary node, wherein the plurality of packets are transmitted from the first node to a second node and wherein the one or more packets are received at the intermediary node before the one or more packets are transmitted to the second node;
• determining, at the intermediary node, using the one or more computing devices, if a packet loss event has occurred, wherein the packet loss event occurs when a first packet of the plurality of packets is lost during transmission from the first node to the second node;
• determining, at the intermediary node, using the one or more computing devices, if the first packet was received from the first node at the intermediary node when it is determined that the packet loss event has occurred;
• sending the first packet from the intermediary node to the second node, using the one or more computing devices, when the first packet was received from the first node at the intermediary node;
• and
• transmit a notification to the first node indicating that the packet loss event occurred and was remedied when the packet loss event occurs and the first packet is sent to the second node using the one or more computing devices.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• determining, at an intermediary node, if a packet loss event has occurred, wherein the intermediary node is configured to receive a plurality of packets transmitted from a first node to a second node from the first node before the packets are transmitted to the second node, and wherein the packet loss event occurs when a first packet of the plurality of packets is lost during transmission from the first node to the second node;
• and
• taking an action, at the intermediary node, using the one or more computing devices, with respect to the first packet when the packet loss event has occurred, the action comprising
• determining if the first packet was received from the first node at the intermediary node and stored at the intermediary node when it is determined that the packet loss event has occurred;
• sending the first packet to the second node when it is determined that the first packet was received from the first node at the intermediary node;
• and
• sending a notification to the first node indicating that the packet loss event occurred and was remedied when the packet loss event occurs and the first packet is sent to the second node by the intermediary node.
