TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WITH CONGESTION CONTROL AT THE RECEIVER END FOR DECIDING POSSIBLE RETRANSMISSION REQUESTS

摘要

The invention relates to the transmission of data packets across a network that may introduce errors leading to packet losses, and across which the packets have a variable transit time. The invention comprises discriminating the losses due to congestion, losses due to transmission errors and to stopping at least certain requests for retransmission of packets in case of congestion.
