Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer readable medium for transmitting at least one packet across a network destined for reception by at least one network endpoint. A plurality of packets is processed sequentially from a queue to be sent to at least one network endpoint. At least a first packet from the plurality of packets is transmitted to the network endpoint. The at least first packet transmitted to the network endpoint is determined to not have been acknowledged. A first retry packet associated with the at least first packet is transmitted to the at least one network endpoint. Transmission of packets other than the first retry packet is suspended to the network endpoint. The first retry packet is determined to have been acknowledged by the at least one network endpoint. Transmission of remaining packets in the plurality of packets to the at least one network endpoint is resumed.
