Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method of requesting retransmission of at least a portion of a message (having a plurality of message segments) from a sender utilizes message units in a memory device for storing data relating to retransmit messages. In particular, each message unit in the memory has data for one message segment. To that end, a retransmit message requesting retransmission of a set of message segments to a given receiver is received from the given receiver. The given retransmit message then is parsed to determine both the identity of the given receiver, and the identity of the set of message segments requested by the given receiver. A message unit then is produced in the memory for each of the set of message segments that does not have an existing message unit in memory. Data representing the identity of the given receiver then is added to all message units for the set of message segments.
