1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: identifying, by a sending computing device, that a first data unit and a second data unit are designated for transmission to a receiving computing device; identifying, by the sending computing device, a first maximum number of times that the sending computing device is to transmit the first data unit; identifying, by the sending computing device, a second maximum number of times that the sending computing device is to transmit the second data unit, wherein the first maximum number of times is different than the second maximum number of times; determining, by the sending computing device, that the first data unit has not been transmitted by the sending computing device the first maximum number of times, and as a result selecting the first data unit for inclusion in a data packet; determining, by the sending computing device, that the second data unit has been transmitted by the sending computing device the second maximum number of times, and as a result selecting to exclude the second data unit from inclusion in the data packet; and transmitting, by the sending computing device and for receipt by the receiving computing device, the packet that includes the first data unit and excludes the second data unit.
