Abstract
A method for communication in a computing environment is provided. The method comprises transmitting a first data packet to one or more receiving units in a first set; receiving one or more acknowledgement messages (ACKs) from one or more receiving units in a second set, wherein the second set is a subset of the first set; removing the first data packet from a queue, in response to receiving at least one ACK from N receiving units within a time threshold; and re-transmitting the first data packet to the first set, in response to failing to receive at least one ACK from N receiving units within the time threshold.
