SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA

摘要

Methods for synchronously transmitting control data from a first device to a second device in a streaming data network and for transferring non-addressed data through a streaming data network are disclosed. A first device may insert an identifier identifying a second device into data packets transmitted over a streaming data network. A first acknowledgment may be received from the second device at the first device. At least a portion of the control data may be inserted into the data packets at least until a second acknowledgement is received at the first device. The previous step may be repeated with additional portions of the control data until all control data has been transmitted to the second device. The identifier may then be removed from the data packets at least until a third acknowledgment is received at the first device.
