Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting outgoing data uses data descriptors for multiple sets of contiguous data blocks stored in buffers. When new sets of contiguous data blocks are created due to acknowledgement signals for particular data blocks of the multiple sets of contiguous data blocks, new data descriptors are generated for some of the new sets of contiguous data blocks. These new data descriptors are placed in spaces in the buffers where the particular data blocks were originally stored.
