Abstract:
A method for transmitting large information messages over a network comprising the steps of:a. identifying a large information message to be transmitted over a network;b. partitioning the large information message into at least first and last packets;c. attaching additional packet control information to the partitioned packet;d. transmitting the last packet over the network to at least one receiver;e. Writing the received first transmitted packet into a memory location;f. transmitting over the network to the at least one receiver followed by writing received subsequent packets in reverse order; the subsequently transmitted and written packets being written into memory locations adjacent to the previously transmitted and written packets, said subsequently transmitted and written packets shifted in memory location such that the attached packet control information of the previously transmitted and written packet is overwritten by a portion of the subsequently transmitted and written packet;whereby the steps of transmitting and writing of the packets is repeated until the partitioned large information message is reintegrated into a coherent, contiguous message.
