ABSTRACT:
In a multi-service communication environment, the present invention determines packet length criteria and provides the packet length criteria to access nodes for a network. The packet length criteria identify a packet length at which packets for delivery over the network are too long. Packets that are too long are disassembled and used to create shorter packets. The shorter packets and original packets that were not too long are then forwarded over the network. At the other end of the network, the original and shorter packets are received, wherein the shorter packets are used to recreate the original packets that were deemed too long for transmission by the packet length criteria. In addition to the packet length criteria, transmission priority criteria may be determined and used to prioritize the transmission of packets, including original packets or those packets that were shortened, for delivery over the network.
