Abstract
There is provided a method for handling a destructive break for use by a first gateway device, where the first gateway device is in communication with a second gateway device over a packet network, the first gateway device is connected to a first modem over a first communication line and the second gateway device is connected to a second modem over a second communication line. The destructive break is received by the first gateway device from the first modem or the second gateway device. The first gateway device controls a sequence of steps of transmitting the received destructive break and discarding data. Further, the first gateway device receives a break acknowledgement in response to transmitting the destructive break and controls a sequence of steps of transmitting the received break acknowledgement, resetting trans-compression engines at the first gateway device and resumption of data transfer.
