Research direction

Start by reading services-directions/src/main/java/com/mapbox/api/directions/v5/MapboxDirections.java and the referenced MapboxOffboardRouter.kt entry point. Trace how route-request failures are handled, then define and verify retries for non-server-side failures such as unavailable connectivity and timeouts, while leaving server-side failures out of scope.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Navigation SDK requires retry route requests in case if a response fail with non server-side error(no Internet connection, time out exception, and etc.)
