Abstract
A transmitter device () and associated receiver device () providing a retransmission scheme for use in communications involving lossy media. The transmitter device () receives data packets () from a source and adds protection to selected subflows before delivering () them to the receiver device (). The receiver device () is able to remove the protection and process () the data packets further. The retransmission scheme introduces greater reliability on the lossy medium by restricting the retransmission () to a particular link and to selected subflows of traffic in the connection between a source and a destination.
