ABSTRACT:
A data link control method including receiving a message (30) for transmission over a cable communications system. The method determines a number of octets in the message (30). When the number of octets is less than or equal to a predetermined number of octets, the method sets a frame length (44) equal to the number of octets and transmits a frame (180) containing the message (30). When the number of octets is greater than the predetermined number, the messages (30) is segmented (32-42), each segment being identified in order with respect to the other segments. The method thereby provides for graceful communications resumption when the transmission of a message is interrupted before completion.
