Abstract

See full text

A system and method for providing data delivery and processing status from at least one receiving device to a transmitting device. Data is sent to one or more receiving devices in bursts consisting of multiple data transfer units (DTUs). The receiving device or devices provide one or more status reports to the transmitting device, describing the delivery and processing status of bursts transmitted from the transmitting device. Each status report may represent the receive and/or processing status packet with regard to multiple bursts sent from the transmitting device to a receiving device. Status reports may be generated by a receiving device in response to detection of a predetermined condition such as the end of a received burst. Each status report may describe the receipt and/or processing status of all DTUs in all bursts that have previously been received by the receiving device from the transmitting device.
