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 ;)
