Examples described herein relate to a reliable transport protocol for packet transmission using an Address Family of an eXpress Data Path (AF_XDP) queue framework, wherein the AF_XDP queue framework is to provide a queue for received packet receipt acknowledgements (ACKs). In some examples, an AF_XDP socket is to connect a service with a driver for the network device, one or more queues are associated with the AF_XDP socket, and at least one of the one or more queues comprises a waiting queue for received packet receipt ACKs. In some examples, at least one of the one or more queues is to identify one or more packets for which ACKs have been received. In some examples, the network device is to re-transmit a packet identified by a descriptor in the waiting queue based on non-receipt of an ACK associated with the packet from a receiver.
