Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for managing network data packet transmission. A retry buffer is maintained that includes a single first in, first out retransmission retry buffer. A first data packet is inserted into the retry buffer in response to transmitting the first data packet to a remote node. A determination that a second data packet is not able to be transmitted to the remote node causes the second data packet to be inserted into the retry buffer. A third data packet is retrieved from the retry buffer and a determination that it is not to be transmitted to the remote node causes the third data packet to be reinserted into the retry buffer.
