Methods and systems for uneven segmentation of data packets to reduce retransmission penalty accumulated as a result of having to retransmit one or more of the last segments. The method includes segmenting a data packet into segments of different sizes, with generally larger segments in the first half and smaller segments in the second half, and transmitting the segments over an intermediate communication link to another node. The transmission of the segments begins before receiving the entire data packet, and retransmission of a corrupted segment takes place as soon as an indication indicative of the corrupted segment is detected.

Uneven segmentation of data packets to reduce retransmission latency

Disclosed efficient low-latency transmissions of USB data over an HDBaseT network. One method involves receiving a USB data packet from a first USB port, segmenting the USB data packet into multiple HDBaseT packets having different payload sizes, transmitting the HDBaseT packets over the HDBaseT network in a specific order, reassembling a restored USB data packet from the transmitted HDBaseT packets, and forwarding the restored USB data packet to a second USB port. The method optimizes HDBaseT abilities to extend USB transmissions by reducing the latency associated with retransmitting the last HDBaseT packets segmented from a USB data packet.
