ABSTRACT:
A network transmitter (driver or adaptor/driver combination) reorders packets received for transmission from a higher layer protocol based on packet destinations. The invention reduces bottlenecks at the transmitter and potentially throughout network intermediate system. Destination based reordering may be accomplished through alternative methods, some alternatives taking into account the order at which packets to different destinations are queued by a higher layer protocol.
