Retransmission
Retransmission, essentially identical with Automatic repeat request, is the resending of packets which have been either damaged or lost. It is a term that refers to one of the basic mechanisms used by protocols operating over a packet switched computer network to provide reliable communication. Such networks are usually 'unreliable', meaning they offer no guarantees that they will not delay, damage, or lose packets, or deliver them out of order. Protocols which provide reliable communication over such networks use a combination of acknowledgments, retransmission of missing and/or damaged packets, and checksums to provide that reliability.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Retransmission
rē-trans-mish′un, n. a repeated transmission.—v.t. Rē′transmit.
