Abstract: As part of managing delivery of a given packet flow according to a reliable transport protocol, a sender sends, to a receiver, a last flow packet among multiple flow packets of a flowlet. After sending the last flow packet but before satisfaction of a timeout condition for the last flow packet, the sender sends one or more end-of-flowlet (“EOF”) packets, which can be flush packets, query packets, or another type of packet. The sender receives, from the receiver, feedback metadata for the EOF packet(s) and updates a tracking window based at least in part on the feedback metadata. The sender selectively resends one or more unacknowledged flow packets according to the updated tracking window. In this way, the sender can quickly address any dropped packets or significantly delayed packets at the end of a flowlet, without waiting for the timeout condition to detect the dropped or delayed packets.

Abstract: The invention herein describes an aerodynamically improved projectile which has less overall mass and achieves higher maximum velocities. The projectile has a jacket with a nose opening and a base opening and a core disposed therein. The core is open-ended and has a channel defined from the open forward end to the open base end. The channel is axially aligned with the nose opening and base opening of the jacket. Removably attached to the base opening is a base cover that is engineered to detach from the projectile during flight. A pressure differential created in the channel during projectile flight causes the base cover to detach from the projectile, thereby fully opening the channel.
