ABSTRACT:
In a network, the efficiency of data transfer is improved. The network includes packets of data (100, 120). The invention begins by preserving an original packet (100). A larger packet (140) is then constructed by combining two packets (100, 120). Either the original packet (100) or the larger packet (140) is transmitted over the network. The original packet (100) is transmitted if the media/port (52) becomes available for transmission before the larger packet (140) is constructed, and the larger packet (140) is transmitted if the constructing of the larger packet (140) is completed before the media (52) becomes available. In a network with cells, a packet is constructed by combining cells. This packet is built until the media becomes available for transmission. The size and composition of this packet is independent of an original packet's size and composition.
