Abstract

A proxy server (700) receives, from a sending device, a packet intended for a receiving device (600). The proxy sewer (700) sends, to the receiving device (600), a promise frame (300) indicating that the proxy server (700) will deliver the packet to the receiving device (600) later. The receiving device (600) receives the promise frame (300) from the proxy server (700), and sends an acknowledgement of the packet to the sending device via the proxy sewer (700). The proxy server (700) forwards the acknowledgement of the packet from the receiving device (600) to the sending device, and delivers the packet to the receiving device (600) after having forwarded the acknowledgement to the sending device. The receiving device (600) receives the packet from the proxy server (700) after having sent the acknowledgement of the packet to the sending device via the proxy server (700).
