METHOD OF TRANSMITTING PACKETS IN ACQUITTAL MODE VIA TEMPORARY FLOWS OF BLOCKS AND CONTROL UNIT FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

摘要

Between a packet sending station (10) and a control unit (22), the packets are transmitted in block flows established temporarily when packets are to be transmitted. A packet sequence is transmitted in acknowledged mode from the transmitting station, via a first temporary stream of blocks from the transmitting station to the control unit. Upon receipt of a return packet destined for the transmitting station while said sequence of packets is still being transmitted from the transmitting station, the control unit opens a second temporary flow of blocks from the control unit to the transmission station. transmitting station. The transmission of the packet back into the second temporary stream of blocks is delayed to try to regroup in the second temporary flow of blocks several packets in return containing acknowledgments. / P
