In one embodiment, a method for communicating data is provided. The method includes, defining a data transmission unit (DTU) to be sent in an xDSL data stream, defining a retransmit container as a time slot that corresponds to the DTU, maintaining a copy of the DTU and an index corresponding to the retransmit container in a retransmission buffer, transmitting the DTU in the xDSL data stream, determining whether the DTU should be retransmitted, and if the DTU should be retransmitted: identifying the DTU by the retransmit container and retransmitting a copy of the DTU as identified by the retransmit container before the DTU leaves the retransmission buffer. |
