1. A device for preventing protocol stalling, comprising:
- a control platform adapted to utilize a predetermined time period, wherein the predetermined time period is reset when an acknowledgement signal is received;
the control platform further adapted to examine stored packets to detect new or negatively acknowledged packets; and
a transmission platform adapted to transmit an earliest transmitted packet after the predetermined time period expires when no new or negatively acknowledged packets are detected.

Abstract
The present invention provides techniques for preventing protocol stalling. A control platform is adapted to generate a predetermined time period, wherein the predetermined time period is reset when an acknowledgement signal is received. The control platform is further adapted to examine stored packets to detect new or negatively acknowledged packets. A transmission platform is adapted to transmit an earliest transmitted packet after the predetermined time period expires when no new or negatively acknowledged packets are detected.
