Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at an intermediary device, a first packet of a request from a first device, wherein the request is destined for a second device, the first packet including a first acknowledgement for a second packet previously sent from the second device to the first device; determining a third packet of the request from the first device was not received at the intermediary device; detecting the first acknowledgement in the first packet, the first acknowledgement acknowledging receipt of the second packet previously sent from the second device to the first device; generating, at the intermediary device, an acknowledgement packet comprising a second acknowledgement indicating to the second device that the second packet was received by the first device; and while delaying the first packet due to the third packet not received, sending, from the intermediary device, the second acknowledgement in the acknowledgement packet to the second device.
