ABSTRACT:
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) segments received from a server are processed to result in improved reliability. An embodiment of the method comprises receiving a first TCP segment from a server and placing the first TCP segment in a segment queue, the first TCP segment having a first sequence number. A determination is made as to whether a second TCP segment is missing from the segment queue based at least in part on a first sequence number. Responsive to determining that the second TCP is missing from the segment queue, placing a placeholder for the second TCP segment in the segment queue. The first TCP segment is delivered to an application responsive to the first TCP segment being the next TCP segment in a sequence.
