Abstract
A system and method for facilitating packet loss recovery using an intermediary are provided. The system includes a first node configured to transmit a plurality of data packets, a second node configured to receive the plurality of data packets and a third node configured to act as an intermediary between the first node and the second node and is configured to receive one or more packets of the plurality of data packets transmitted from the first node to the second node before the one or more packets are transmitted to the second node, and determine if a packet loss event has occurred, wherein a packet loss event occurs if a first packet of the plurality of packets is lost during transmission from the first node to the second node and take an action with respect to the first packet if it determined that a packet loss event has occurred.
