Distriubtion agent running but undistributed commands on the rise


hello replication folks ,

i have following annoying situation:

-  transactional replication , network lately becomes shaky.

- working fine until
a network error happens ( link subscriber fails few seconds) , distribution agent reports error , attempts retry.

- agent running since then  number of undistributed commands rises , never reduces unless agent restarted manually.

this annoying behavior ,
the distribution agent seems doing doesn't , number of pending commands keeps piling up. when distribution agent restarted , see number  undistributed commands goes down quickly.

anyone has explanation why distribution agent has restarted when status shows executing? , how avoid this.

is issue code calculates number of pending commands ?

i saw similar pots here :
