Message reordering timers
Abstract
A method for data communication from a first node to a second node over a data channel coupling the first node and the second node includes receiving data messages at the second node, the messages belonging to a set of data messages transmitted in a sequential order from the first node, sending feedback messages from the second node to the first node, the feedback messages characterizing a delivery status of the set of data messages at the second node, including maintaining a set of one or more timers according to occurrences of a number of delivery order events, the maintaining including modifying a status of one or more timers of the set of timers based on occurrences of the number of delivery order events, and deferring sending of said feedback messages until expiry of one or more of the set of one or more timers.
