It depends on what is being retried. We definitely do client-side retries of RPCs. We have rules on what response codes are safe to retry (which is greatly expanded when the method is flagged as idempotent). But some optimistic concurrency operations, like storage transactions that can abort due to interference, will also get retried on the server (with limited retry count in both contexts). We also propagate deadlines (e.g. an outbound RPC will "inherit" its currently deadline if we are currently handling an inbound RPC) to prevent unnecessary retries.
