1. A method for transmitting data from a first node to a second node, each node connected to a first network and a second network, said method comprising the steps of:

  • sending data first via said first network from said first node to said second node;

    resending said data automatically via said second network when a data acknowledgement timeout expires;

    providing a transmission protocol comprising the transmission protocol TCP/IP;

    changing the TCP/IP protocol by modifying a routine of the protocol that provides for retransmission of data via said second network as the data acknowledgement timeout expires, and selecting a duration of a data acknowledgement signal timeout that elapses before substitution of a second network address for a first network address to suit traffic conditions in a redundant data network.
