Abstract

A method for transmitting data between a sender queue of a sender intermediate layer of a protocol stack and a receiver queue of a receiver intermediate layer of the protocol stack. The method includes receiving a data message from a sender messaging layer. The method also includes tagging the data message with a unique identifier. The method further includes writing the data message as a data window in the sender queue of the sender intermediate layer. The method additionally includes transmitting a front data window of the sender queue of the sender intermediate layer to the receiver queue of the receiver intermediate layer. The method also includes receiving a single receipt-acknowledgement message after a receiver transport layer of the protocol stack has received all of the front data window. The method further includes receiving a commit-acknowledgement message.
