System and method for enhancing server media throughput in mismatched networks

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a media client module, a disk command;
• storing a first number of packets in a transmission queue in response to the disk command;
• transmitting the first number of packets to a server associated with the disk command;
• receiving a restart message including a missing packet order number;
• stopping transmission of the first number of packets in response to the restart message;
• calculating a delay between bursts of packets based on the restart message;
• setting a second number of packets to a difference between the missing packet order number in the restart message and a starting packet number of the first number of packets;
• storing a second number of packets in the transmission queue starting with a packet having the missing packet order number;
• and
• transmitting the second number of packets to the server.

A network comprising:

• a first information handling system including:
• a processor;
• and
• a media server to receive a disk command from an application of the processor, to transmit the disk command, to receive packets associated with the disk command, and to transmit a restart message in response to one of the packets being received out of order;
• and
• a second information handling system including:
• a transmission queue;
• and
• a hardware media client module in communication with the transmission queue, the media client module configured to receive the disk command from the media server, to store a first number of packets in the transmission queue in response to the disk command, to transmit, via a communication link, the first number of packets to the first information handling system, to receive the restart message including a missing packet order number, to stop transmission of the first number of packets in response to the restart message, to calculate a delay between bursts of packets based on the restart message, to set a second number of packets to a difference between the missing packet order number in the restart message and a starting packet number of the first number of packets, to store a second number of packets in the transmission queue starting with a packet having the missing packet order number, and to transmit the second number of packets to the first information handling system.
