Abstract:
A method for communicating packet fragments over a symmetrical interface with reversed asymmetrical links, comprising in combination the steps of:coupling a first asymmetric interface to a computing device, the first asymmetric interface having an up-link transmission rate and a down-link receiving rate, the up-link rate being greater than the down-link rate, the difference between the up-link rate and the down-link rate defining a first asymmetric difference; and coupling a second asymmetric interface to the computing device, the second asymmetric interface having a down-link receiving rate and an up-link transmission rate, the down-link rate being greater than the up-link rate, the difference between the down-link rate and the up-link rate of the second asymmetric interface defining a second asymmetric difference, the second asymmetric difference being substantially equal to the first asymmetric difference.
