Server side: a machine hosted in Microsoft Azure running Ubuntu-14_04-LTS and MongoDB 3.0.6

Client side: A cloud service hosted in Microsoft Azure running Windows 2012 R2 and making calls to the DB using the .NET driver (2.1.0).

Problem: when requesting too much data we always have an exception like this: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

This is happening when reading 10 documents (each document in a different request one after other) with a size close to 1KB.
**The same tests requesting 1000 documents of 450B does not throw this exception so we are a bit lost

We have thought of retrying the failing statements when this kind of error happens, however, it would not be very clean as we should surround our driver queries/updates in Func<T> blocks to provide a transient error handling.

Could it be achieve via a subclass/configuration of the driver?

Thank you
