    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently sending large units of data in a network. A sender computing device splits the proposal into a plurality of fragments, and sends each of the plurality of fragments to a receiver computing device. The sender computing device receives an acknowledgement from the receiver computing device for each fragment received by the receiver computing device. If no acknowledgements for any fragments are received within a predetermined time period, it may be determined that an error occurred, in which case the sender may time out or take another action. The sender computing device further sends a message to the receiver computing device, wherein a payload of the message includes one or more references corresponding to the plurality of fragments sent.
