 Faced such an anomaly. In 2-3% of cases when exchanging PTX device sees a transmission error (the ACK did not come) and device PRX is not see this error.
Is there a way for device in PRX mode to understand that ACK was successfully delivered to</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2017 06:01:48 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/20911/is-it-possible-to-track-the-delivery-of-a-k-in-the-esb-protocol" /><item><title>RE: Is it possible to track the delivery of AСK in the ESB protocol?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/81655?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2017 06:01:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:181e9fae-7a2c-4dd0-b0d3-845d52749d81</guid><dc:creator>hamster66</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks!

&lt;p&gt;Do you mean that the packet is received in the PRX, but the PTX does not get the ACK?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a protocol where 0% packet loss is required you would typically retransmit the same packet over and over again until you receive an ACK (instead of giving up after a certain number of retransmits).
Then the PRX can assume that if a new packet is received, the previous packet has been successfully ACK&amp;#39;ed.
Otherwise there is no way for the PRX to know if the ACK was received or not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this to work you have to retransmit any packet on the PTX side if the &amp;#39;max retransmit&amp;#39; interrupt occurs, rather than flushing the buffers and sending the next packet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;br /&gt;
