PURPOSE: A method for providing a reliable protocol for transferring data and an apparatus thereof are provided which restrict the amount of initial data to be transmitted and provide a unit requesting more data when it is ready to receive data. CONSTITUTION: The method in a data processing system for transferring data, the method comprising: sending a request, wherein the request includes an amount of available processing space at the data processing system; and receiving a subsequence of data packets from a set of subsequences of data packets in response to the request each time the amount of available processing space is free, wherein data within each subsequence within the set of subsequences of data packets fits within the amount of available processing space.
