Abstract
A method in a target device for partially reordering a plurality of data packets transmitted from a source device. The source device is coupled to the target device via a computer network. The method receiving a first set of data packets from the transmitted device, and ascertaining whether the first set of data packets represents a set of data packets that the target device expects to receive next. If the first set of data packets does not represents the set of data packets that the target expects to receive next, the method includes storing the first set of data packets in a memory buffer of the target device. The storing includes arranging the first set of data packets in the memory buffer such that data packets in the memory buffer, including the first set of data packets, are in order in the memory buffer.
