Abstract
Maintaining an ordering of transmitted data includes associating a sequence number with each element of the transmitted data, where the sequence number indicates a temporal relationship between different ones of the elements. Maintaining an ordering also includes maintaining a last aborted sequence number and an indicator of whether receipt of information indicating that the last aborted sequence number has been acknowledged and rejecting data associated with a sequence number indicative of a time before a time corresponding to the last aborted sequence number. The last aborted sequence number may be sent until receipt thereof is acknowledged. No data may be transmitted until receipt of the last aborted sequence number is acknowledged. The sequence numbers may be incremented by one.
