Definition / notes:When a modem receives a data packet, it sends a signal back to the sending modem. If all the data is present and correct, it sends an ACK (acknowledgement) signal, which acts as a request for the next data packet. If the modem didn't get all the data, it sends back a negative acknowledgement, or NAK
