Reliable data transfer on a lossy channel?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Contr... Because someone already solved the problem and there is a library (TCP/IP) or ten that does it in every language that exists. Is this a philosophy question?

1 simple yet very correct answer. Nothing more than that is needed. I recommend whoi to throughly read the specs and understand why each bit in a TCP header is actually there.

You'll get you answer very quickly. – Poni Nov 11 '10 at 10:53 Well, yes indeed whole TCP stack can be read and one can rediscover the method. But rather than implementing TCP, as I said there are other methods.

What I ask is at application level indeed, not protocol. – whoi Nov 11 '10 at 10:59 Fair enough. I would recommend looking for scientific papers on that topic then, in the usual places such as IEEE.

There should be an abundance on WLAN technology. – Kdansky Nov 11 '10 at 11:09 Whole TCP stack might be an overkill in his situation. – Pavel Urbanĝík Nov 11 '10 at 11:13.

Without performance loss typically means reducing dependency on the back channel, from the receiver sending ACKs to the sender. This usually means a custom protocol using datagrams and using some form of forward-error-correction (FEC). Note that FEC is a sliding scale that can often be a significant performance penalty because, by definition, you are preemptively sending additional redundant data so that the receiver does not have to ask for it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
