Detailed Explanation of Heartbeat, Packet Loss Retransmission, and Connection Timeout Mechanisms in the TCP/IP Protocol Stack

Detailed Explanation of Heartbeat, Packet Loss Retransmission, and Connection Timeout Mechanisms in the TCP/IP Protocol Stack

Recently, we encountered a project where the client’s network environment was unstable, leading to occasional packet loss and network jitter. This caused our software client to intermittently disconnect from the server, interrupting ongoing video conferences. This article takes this opportunity to explain in detail the heartbeat mechanism, packet loss retransmission mechanism, and other related content … Read more
