Reordering

simple module

Reorders out-of-sequence packets based on their sequence numbers. Buffers packets until they can be delivered in the correct order, ensuring sequential processing of packets despite network reordering. Note that this module does not contain a mechanism to recover from packet losses, i.e. a lost packet will cause subsequent packets will be buffered in this module indefinitely.
