Abstract
The present invention provides a better solution to the problem of reporting to the transmitter the data received by a receiver in the field of data communications. This is achieved by reporting the status of the receivers' window. The cumulative sequence number is placed in the first field of the acknowledgement report as per the present invention. As per prior negotiation, the optional field of missing and received span pairs is placed after that. The first missing span length occurs after that. The next received span length is placed after that. Thereafter, the next missing span length and the received span lengths are placed one after the other. The last received data span is acknowledged in the last field. One optional field can occur either before or after this layout to represent the receiver open window status.
