I'll get my self informed by reading those papers then i'll have some comments and questions if you dont mind.
Questions are always welcome
although ,i want to know , when you said
If you mean network level, then TCP provides that,
maybe you are talking about timeouts in TCP/IP ?
TCP retransmits data that it thinks is not delivered. If there is a network problem downstream (not at the end hosts), and you try to reconnect, you may end up in the same situation as trying to retransmit.
Overlay networks try to route around network problems to provide alternative paths. But that again is a whole list of references ;)
