Abstract
Methods and systems for network communication are provided. One of the methods includes receiving an out of order packet at a requestor device that is communicably connected to a responder device; storing the out of order packet at an out of order buffer location; and sending a lossy reliable connection (LRC) packet to the responder device when selective acknowledgement (SACK) is supported between the requestor device and the responder device, with information regarding an updated sequence number in a LRC extended header (LRCETH) that indicates to the responder information regarding in-order packets that have been received by the requestor device.
