Abstract:
1. A method comprising: identifying a flow of packets sent from a server device over a TCP network via a gateway device to at least one endpoint device, the endpoint device accessing the TCP network via the gateway device over a wireless access network, such that the endpoint device communicates with the server device via the gateway device; caching a series of the packets to facilitate sending a copy of at least one of the series of packets to the endpoint device; identifying a message to be sent from the endpoint device to the server device via the gateway device, wherein the message communicates an error condition relating to at least one packet in the flow; predicting that the error condition is based, at least in part, on a non-congestion-related condition within the wireless access network; filtering the message to exclude communication of the error condition to the server device based on the prediction that the error condition is based, at least in part, on the non-congestion-related condition within the wireless access network; and when the error condition identifies a loss of at least one packet in the flow of packets, identifying a particular lost packet from the message, retrieving a copy of the particular lost packet from the caching, and sending the co of the s articular lost packet to the endpoint device.
