Abstract

Systems and methods to provide ordered transmission of data packets to multiple destinations are presented. A transmission device includes a transmitter, a data packet ordering unit, a state table, and a transmit management interface such as a hardware/software unit. The state table stores a transmit block status of each destination. The transmit management interface is coupled to the transmitter and analyzes data packets. The transmit management interface determines whether to transmit a data packet targeted to a particular destination or to block transmission of data packets to the particular destination by examining the transmit block status of the particular destination from the state table.
