Abstract:
1. One or more computer-readable storage media having computer useable instructions executed by one or more computing devices for performing a method for fragmenting a packet for delivery in an environment with multiple network connections, the method comprising: receiving a packet at a radio network controller (RNC); analyzing the packet to determine a packet size of the packet; if the packet size of the packet is 734 bytes or less, sending the packet for delivery across a network connection in the environment with the multiple network connections; if the packet size is larger than 734 bytes, a) breaking the packet into one or more fragments to achieve a fragment size that is a maximum size that can pass across the network connection wherein breaking the packet into the one or more fragments comprises the RNC encapsulating the packets into Abis packets, b) waiting a time period for a last fragment from the one or more fragments to achieve the maximum size, c) adding bytes of data to the last fragment from one or more other fragments from another packet received at the radio network controller to achieve the maximum size; and sending the one or more fragments across the same network connection.
