My opinion was informed by writing the higher levels rather than the lower ones! Yes, the code absolutely is going to try to recover from sending a packet, because it was sending that in service of some larger goal that now needs unwinding partway through. And, yes, it is going to try to reconnect, or use a different server - or whatever.
The thing it really doesn't want to do is punt the issue on to some higher level. Because there isn't one.
But, equally, you don't want to be swallowing interesting problems that genuinely indicate actual bugs. Those, you do want to pass on (and due to the lack of any higher level, your process will be killed, and some mechanism will spring into action to produce a report).
