this sounds strange.  TCP will retransmit happily in such a short
timespan.  I'd only expect problems if the link is down for 1-2
minutes or more.

a more common problem is connection tracking information being thrown
away by network equipment during the possibly long periods of quiet.
hence the heartbeat support you can turn on in the Bacula protocols.
