Quick Retry & Object Delivery

Quick retry detects slow forward throughput while fetching an object for download and attempts a different forward connection path to try to avoid congestion.

This behavior is automatically included in the Default Rule in a new property. It's recommended, but it's not required like the other behaviors in the Default Rule. You can remove it if desired.

It's automatically enabled and requires no additional configuration, but it can be customized with the help of your ​Akamai Technologies, Inc.​ account representative. There are also caveats and known issues associated with its use. For complete details, see Quick Retry & Object Delivery.
