Abstract

A client/server computer architecture having a gap detector detecting gaps in sequence numbers of transactions transmitted by clients and processed by servers. When a gap is detected to thereby indicate that a respective transaction was transmitted but not processed, the client that originally transmitted the transaction is notified so that the client can retransmit the transaction.
