Threshold and Timeout Resend Mechanisms Combined
Figure 20 illustrates the combined action of the threshold and the timeout resend mechanisms
where the following assumptions are made:
All parameters set to default.
The frame includes 3000 packets.
Packet 1002 is missing within the stream of packets and has not been recovered.
Packets 2999 and 3000 are missing at the end of the stream of packets (end of the frame).
The default values for the performance driver parameters will cause the threshold resend
mechanism to become operative before the timeout resend mechanism. This ensures maximum
efficiency and that resend requests will be sent for all missing packets.
With the default parameter values, the resend request threshold is located very close to the front
end of the receive window. Accordingly, there will be only a minimum delay between detecting a
missing packet and sending a resend request for it. In this case, a delay according to the Resend
Timeout parameter will not occur (see Figure 20). In addition, resend request batching will not
occur.

Fig. 20: Combination of Threshold Resend Mechanism and Timeout Resend Mechanism
(1) Stream of packets, Gray indicates that the status was checked as the packet entered the
receive window. White indicates that the status has not yet been checked.
(2) Receive window of the performance driver.
(3) Threshold for sending resend requests (resend request threshold). The first resend request
for packet 1002 is sent to the camera. The camera does not respond with a resend.
(4) Interval defined by the Resend Response Timeout parameter.
(5) The Resend Timeout interval expires and the second resend request for packet 1002 is sent
to the camera. The camera does not respond with a resend.
(6) Interval defined by the Resend Response Timeout parameter
(7) The Resend Timeout interval expires and the third resend request for packet 1002 is sent to
the camera. The camera does not respond with a resend.
(8) Interval defined by the Resend Response Timeout parameter
