Abstract
A method and technique for communications over multiple protocol interfaces in a computing environment includes identifying a first communications protocol of a network interface for ingress data packet communications. Responsive to the identified first communications protocol of the network interface differing from a second communications protocol used for the data packet communications, fragmentation data according to a data packet fragmentation protocol corresponding to the second communications protocol is derived from an application layer header of the data packet communications. A logical packet is re-assembled from the data packet communications using the data packet fragmentation protocol and the fragmentation data.
