Techniques and systems that allow receiving a data stream and a location value. The location value, in one embodiment, is indicative of a location in the data stream at which the data stream has been aborted. This value may be determined by a sending entity and sent to a receiving entity. In various embodiments, the receiving entity may compute the remaining amount of data to be received in the data stream, and then receive that amount of data. In some embodiments, a checkpoint value may be used in conjunction with the location value to indicate an abort location for a data stream. A checkpoint value may correspond to an amount of data between successive checkpoints in the data stream. In some embodiments, upon aborting a data stream, a receiving entity receives data until a next checkpoint in the data stream. |
