An invention is provided for fault-tolerant and adaptive communication in a distributed computing environment. The invention includes detecting an interruption in a digital connection on a network between two endpoints. Upon detection, a connection state value indicating a number of data elements processed by the application is obtained. The connection state value is then exchanged with the opposite endpoint over the network. In this manner, remaining data elements of the transaction can be received sequentially over the network from the opposite endpoint. In particular, the remaining data elements begin with a data element at a point indicated by the connection state value plus one.
