Piecewise linear, probabilistic, backoff method for retrying message delivery in a cloud-based computing environment

摘要

The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for retrying message delivery in a network. One computer-implemented method includes determining a retry window (RW) for one or more retry attempts to send a message to a target system, determining a minimum silent interval (MSI) representing the minimum permitted time interval between two successive retry attempts, dividing the RW into one or more time slots of N duration, randomly determining, by a hardware processor, a point-in-time within a time slot starting from the beginning time of the time slot, and sending a message as a retry attempt to the target system at the point-in-time.
