It sounds like you are holding packets for longer than 1 second, which is a really long time in network land and is not something TCP will be happy with. The failure cascade which results is pretty much what you should expect from TCP.
Retransmitting packets that haven't arrived is what TCP does. Sufficiently out-of-order late arrivals -- specifically ACKs -- blow its synchronization-safety margins and it aborts.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
