A send client can send a message or multiple segments of a message to a receive client via a computer network. A data exchange server can receive the message and store the message in a storage device. If the send client sent the message in multiple segments, the data exchange server can store the message segments in the storage device once it receives all the message segments. The data exchange server can send the message in multiple segments to a receive client. The data exchange server can send a send receipt to the send client upon sending the message to a next destination. The data exchange server can send a receive receipt to the send client upon receiving the message. The data exchange server can send messages of an ordered set in the order in which they are received from a send client.

System and method for reliably exchanging information across a computer network

A send client can send a message comprising multiple message segments to a receive client via a computer network. A data exchange server can receive the message segments sent by the send client and store these message segments in a storage device. The data exchange server can also send the message (once all the message segments are received) to a receive client. For each message segment to be sent to the receive client, the data exchange server can calculate a transmission rate for the message segment based upon current network throughput and send the message segment to the receive client at the calculated transmission rate.
