Abstract
Network data transmission involves transmitting data packets from a first station for reception at a second station. The second station receives at least one of said transmitted packets in an input buffer, identifies at least one transmitted packet that has not been received as an identified non-received packet, and transmits an indication back to the first station indicating the identified non-received packet.
Claims23
A network data transmission method, comprising the steps of
- transmitting data packets from a first station for reception at a second station;
- and, at said second station
- receiving at least one of said transmitted packets in an input buffer;
- identifying at least one transmitted packet that has not been received as an identified non-received packet;
- and
- transmitting an indication back from said second station to said first station indicating said identified non-received packet.
A server configured to communicate with terminals in which packets of data are transmitted from said server to said terminals, wherein
- said server receives an indication from a first terminal indicating that an identified packet transmitted by said server to said first terminal has not been received by said first terminal;
- and
- said identified packet is retransmitted to said first terminal.
A server configured to communicate with terminals in which packets of data are transmitted from a first terminal to said server, wherein
- said server generates an indication to a first terminal indicating that an indicated packet transmitted by said first terminal to said server has not been received by said server;
- so that said indicated packet may be retransmitted to said server.
A terminal configured to communicate with a server in which packets of data are transmitted from said terminal to said server wherein
- said terminal receives an indication from said server indicating that an indicated packet transmitted by said terminal to said server has not been received by said server;
- and
- said indicated packet is retransmitted by said terminal to said server.
A terminal configured to communicate with a server in which packets of data are transmitted from said server to said terminal, wherein said terminal generates an indication to said server indicating that an indicated packet transmitted by said server to said terminal has not been received by said terminal;
- so that said indicated packet may be retransmitted by said server.
Instructions executable by stations connected over a network such that, when executing said instructions, said stations will perform the steps of:
- transmitting data packets from a first station for reception at a second station;
- and, at said second station
- receiving at least one of said transmitted packets in an input buffer;
- identifying at least one transmitted packet that has not been received as an identified non-received packet;
- and
- transmitting an indication back from said second station to said first station indicating said identified non-received packet.
A computer readable medium having machine readable instructions executable by a computer such that when executing said instructions a computer will perform the steps of
- transmitting packets of data to a networked device,
- server receiving an indication from said networked device indicating that an identified packet transmitted by said computer to said networked device has not been received by said networked device;
- and
- re-transmitting said first packet to said networked device.
A computer readable medium having machine readable instructions executable by a computer such that when executing said instructions a computer will perform the steps of
- receiving packets of data from a networked device,
- generating an indication to a first terminal indicating that an indicated packet transmitted by said networked device to said computer has not been received by said computer;
- so that said indicated packet may be re-transmitted to said computer by said networked device.
