1. A method performed in a network controller comprising:
receiving a packet transmitted from a remote device over a communication network to the network controller;
detecting one or more fragments in a field of the packet, wherein the field is associated with a session layer or higher abstraction layer of an open systems interconnect (OSI) model;
extracting fragment information from the packet which indicates one or more of a last fragment index associated with a last fragment of one or more fragment in the packet and a fragment count indicative of a number of fragments associated with a message which is fragmented; and
coalescing interrupts associated with the packet with other interrupts associated with other packets based on one or more of the last fragment index and the fragment count.
