ABSTRACT:
An invention is provided for affording asynchronous fault-tolerant and adaptive communication in a distributed computing environment. The invention includes periodically updating a stored connection state value, which is received from an application. The connection state value indicates the number of data elements processed by the application. An interruption in a digital connection is then detected on a network between two endpoints. Upon detection, the stored connection state value is exchanged with the opposite endpoint over the network. In this manner, remaining data elements of the transaction can be received sequentially over the network from the opposite endpoint. In particular, the remaining data elements begin with a data element at a point indicated by the connection state value plus one.
