A method for fragmenting an incoming packet for transmission as a first outgoing packet and a second outgoing packet includes storing a payload of the incoming packet in a plurality of storage units beginning in a first storage unit, transmitting the first outgoing packet being formed according to a predetermined portion of the payload stored in the first storage unit, and after transmitting the first outgoing packet, transmitting the second outgoing packet being formed according to a remaining portion of the payload stored in the storage units.

Method for fragmenting an incoming packet into a first outgoing packet and a second outgoing packet

The packet forwarding device and method of the invention assign a virtual port number to each peripheral interface. The device and method can recognize and process the packets coming from or transferred to the virtual port according to the packet direct forward function of the forward device. Thus, the device and method can process the packets that are inputted to or outputted from the peripheral interface and the network device connected to the peripheral interface in a manner similar to the typical method for processing the packets that are only inputted to or outputted from the physical port.
