ws-reliablemessaging

I need to teach that a HTTP SOAP call may be received but the caller may not get the response due to a network failure (among other problems). (This problem made WS-ReliableMessaging be developed)

How would you guys show this problem to a web service developer so they can develop taking into account that duplicate messages may be received?
