(gcide) | Reliable \Re*li"a*ble\ (r?-l?"?-b'l), a.
Suitable or fit to be relied on; worthy of dependance or

According to General Livingston's humorous account, his
own village of Elizabethtown was not much more
reliable, being peopled in those agitated times by
"unknown, unrecommended strangers, guilty-looking
Tories, and very knavish Whigs." --W. Irving.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Some authors take exception to this word, maintaining
that it is unnecessary, and irregular in formation. It
is, however, sanctioned by the practice of many careful
writers as a most convenient substitute for the phrase
to be relied upon, and a useful synonym for
trustworthy, which is by preference applied to persons,
as reliable is to things, such as an account,
statement, or the like. The objection that adjectives
derived from neuter verbs do not admit of a passive
sense is met by the citation of laughable, worthy of
being laughed at, from the neuter verb to laugh;
available, fit or able to be availed of, from the
neuter verb to avail; dispensable, capable of being
dispensed with, from the neuter verb to dispense. Other
examples might be added.

Communication where messages are guaranteed
to reach their destination complete and uncorrupted and in the
order they were sent. This reliability can be built on top of
an unreliable protocol by adding sequencing information and
some kind of checksum or cyclic redundancy check to each
message or packet. If the communication fails, the sender
will be notified. Transmission Control Protocol is a
reliable protocol used on Ethernet.

reliable data protocol
(foldoc) | Reliable Data Protocol
(RDP) A protocol designed to provide a reliable
data transport service for packet-based applications such as

non-sequential delivery of message segments.
RDP is defined in RFC 908.
