Abstract
Techniques for adapting source ports for traffic include generating a first packet with a header and a payload, the header including an indication of a first source port from which the first packet is to be transmitted. The first packet is transmitted to a receiver using the first source port and, upon not receiving an acknowledgment from the receiver, a second packet with second header and the same payload is generated. The second header includes an indication of a second, different source port from which the second packet is to be transmitted. The second packet is transmitted to the receiver using the second, different source port. An acknowledgment is received from the receiver for one of the first or second packets, and the acknowledgment includes an indication of the source port that sent the packet.
