Abstract
In one example embodiment, a network node includes a processor configured to receive one or more data packets from a transmitter and transmit at least one first-type confirmation message to the transmitter based on a threshold, the at least one first-type confirmation message including an acknowledgement that all but at least two bytes of data included in the one or more data packets are received from the transmitter. The processor is further configured to transmit at least one second-type confirmation message to the transmitter based on at least one of a size of a buffer at the network node available for receiving data packets and an acknowledgement from an end device acknowledging receipt of the one or more data packets, the at least one second message including an acknowledgement of one or more of the at least two bytes of data.
