A system and method for reliably delivery of datagram protocol data unit (PDU) packets generated by a network oriented application at a first computing network element to a second computing network element across a network. The method steps include: at the first computing network element, capturing generated datagram packets destined for the second computing network element; determining a size of a payload associated with the datagram and communicating the size of the payload to the second computing element via a reliable connection-oriented transport service; communicating the actual payload to the second computing element via the reliable connection-oriented transport service; and, at the second computing network element, utilizing payload size and payload to reconstruct a datagram PDU including the payload for a network application at the second computing network element. By this technique, reliable datagram PDU transport over the network is ensured.
A method for reliable delivery of datagram protocol data unit (PDU) packets locally generated by a network oriented application at a first computing network element to a second computing network element across a network, a datagram packet typically comprising a data payload, said method comprising:
A system delivery datagram protocol data units (PDU) packets generated by a network oriented application at a first computing network element to a second computing network element across a network, a datagram packet including a data payload, said method comprising:
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for delivering datagram protocol data unit (PDU) packets generated by a network oriented application at a first computing network element to a second computing network element across a network, a datagram packet typically comprising a data payload, said method steps comprising:
