Abstract
In a computerized device, a technique for communicating with an external transmission control protocol device involves operating in a stateless manner. In particular, the technique includes providing an acknowledgment message to the external transmission control protocol device in response to a synchronization message from the external transmission control protocol device, receiving a request message for content from the external transmission control protocol device, and sending, to the external transmission control protocol device, a reply message having at least a portion of the content, regardless of whether the computerized device received an acknowledgment message from the external transmission control protocol device in response to the acknowledgment message provided by the computerized device to the external transmission control protocol device.
