FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method involves receiving a data unit segment, wherein the data unit segment is part of an initial data unit which is re-segmented into a plurality of data unit segments for transmission. Further, it is determined that the data unit segment includes a flag of the last segment, indicating that the data unit segment is the last segment of the plurality of data unit segments. Also, a status message is transmitted, which contains a status message for the re-segmented data unit in response to the determination that the data unit segment includes a flag of the last segment, indicating that the data unit segment is the last segment.
EFFECT: reducing non-productive consumption of resources when transmitting segmented protocol data units.
