Abstract
A receiving device which received segments out of sequence identifies a lost segment among the segments to be received successively and transmits an acknowledgement including the number of lost segments as an advertised window size. By substituting either one of a transmitting device or a receiving device included in a communication system with a transmitting device or a receiving device of the present invention, a segment retransmission method according to the present invention is achieved. The present invention thus allows a conventional communication system to perform the lost segment retransmission of the present invention.
