Abstract
A system and method for transmitting stateful data over a highly reliable stateless communications channel between a master device and a slave device is provided. Data that has been transmitted from the master device to the slave device is maintained in a buffer at the master device until the slave devices completes the actions required by commands accompanying the data and reports successful completion of the actions. Should an error occur in the data or processing of the data at the slave device an error message is sent from the slave device to the master device causing the stored transmitted data that has not as yet been acknowledged to be retransmitted to the slave device.
