Hello Mr. Penokie,
Thank you for your response. Yes, I
was assuming frame level retries are enabled and was referring to handling of
retried data in general (initiator’s or target’s point of view).
Regards,

Mignon,
From
your question it is not clear if you are asking from a targets point of view or
an initiators point of view. It's also not clear if you are asking about what
happens if frame level retries are enabled or disabled.
So
given that lack of knowledge the answer to you question is yes you have to
overwrite data that is retried even if it has been ACKed.
Bye
for now,
George Penokie

Hello,
If
retries are enabled, and an ACK gets lost, then the transmitter retries, is it
required for the receiver to overwrite the data that is retried even if it has
ACK-ed all data in the previous connection?
Thanks
in advance,
