DTLS Client retry ClientHello

Hi, I now need to have BouncyCastle DTLS act as a DTLS client (after years of just being a server).

I’m at a loss to know how to deal with the case where the ClientHello gets dropped.

this code snippet illustrates the issue:

import org.bouncycastle.crypto.tls.DTLSClientProtocol;
import org.bouncycastle.crypto.tls.DTLSTransport;
….

                SecureRandom sec = new SecureRandom();
                DTLSClientProtocol protocol = new DTLSClientProtocol(sec);
                Log.debug("DTLS client protocol created " + _verified);
                TimerTask kill = new TimerTask() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        Log.error("would resend DTLS hello -  If we knew how.");
                    }
                };
                this.deadmanwalking.schedule(kill, 100 * n);
                DTLSTransport dtls = protocol.connect(this, _dt);

In essence I have 2 problems: 
1) protocol.connect never times out
2) I can’t see an external method to prod protocol into resending.

I could hack something up with the Transport I pass in, but that seems ugly.

Thanks in advance for any hints.
