A transmitting method obtains a data packet of a data-type to be transmitted via a computer network to a receiving system; appends a retry flag to the data packet, the retry flag based on the data-type, the retry flag indicating whether the receiving system may attempt a retransmission; and transmits the data packet to the receiving system. When the data-type is one of voice, video or audio data, the retry flag may indicate that the receiving system should not attempt retransmission. The method may also comprise appending an error-correction algorithm ID based on the data-type to the data packet. A receiving method receives the data packet; and when a bit or packet error is identified then initiating a retransmission if the retry flag so commands. When the retry flag indicates that a retransmission should not occur, the receiving method may initiate an error correction algorithm identified in the data packet.
