<p>The present invention is a method for acknowledgment of receipt of a message in a network, where the network includes a plurality of nodes. The method includes sending a message from a first node of the plurality of nodes destined for a second node of the plurality of nodes (302); setting a timer for the first node for receipt of an acknowledgment packet from the second node (304); determining if a wait acknowledge packet is received by the first node (306); and resetting the timer if the wait acknowledge packet is received by the first node (308). The present invention adds a wait acknowledge event to the state in the acknowledgment protocol which waits for an acknowledgment packet from the destination node.
