ABSTRACT:
A data transmission method quickly and reliably transmits data (e.g., a file) from a source to one or more recipients over a communications link. The method includes transmitting the data, which are in the form of a plurality of frames, from the source over the link to one or more of the recipients until all of the plurality of frames have been transmitted over the link. While the data are being transmitted by the source, acknowledgments from one or more of the recipients are received by the source. The acknowledgments indicate which frames require retransmission. After all of the frames have been transmitted over the link, a retransmission is performed by the source for only those frames which the acknowledgments indicate as requiring retransmission.
