Zusammenfassung:	A software provisioning method and apparatus use a provisioning packet delivery mechanism having a database, a distribution service, and a confirmation service to receive, queue, and confirm delivery of provisioning packet to a computer. When the number of unconfirmed delivery requests exceeds a limit the distribution service may remove the provisioning packet from the database, for example, to limit denial of service attacks.
