1. A method for processing a connection-mode communication connection via a first network communication device, comprising:
receiving a message from a second network communication device after a non-availability of the first device and during a recovery of the first device;
providing the message to an upper layer of a protocol for the connection; and
using the message via the upper layer for the recovery of the connection,
whereby the message is not lost during the recovery of the connection,
wherein the communication with the second network communication device becomes inactive after the non-availability of the first device,
wherein the message is routed via the connection that was established prior to the non-availability, and
wherein after receiving the message a general recover process for the connection is interrupted for the duration of the recovery of the connection.
