DATA RETRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

A method and system for large data transfer between a sender and a receiver. The sender transmits to the receiver a plurality of data packets in sequence. The time elapsed for each of the plurality of data packets after transmission of said each of the plurality of data packets is determined. The receiver transmits a message from the receiver to the sender notifying the sender that an identified one of the plurality of the data packets is missing. The sender retransmits to the receiver the identified one of the plurality of data packets only when the elapsed time determined for the identified one of the plurality of the data packets is greater than a predetermined time interval.
