Abstract
A method and system for combining plural independently addressable packets into a SuperPacket to improve the utilization of a communications channel. The method and system reduce the percentage of the header information that is redundant between packets and/or redundant based on the source and destination addresses of the packets as compared to the data payload. The combined SuperPackets are disassembled at a terminating gateway or at a second multiplexer. The reduction in header information is especially useful in voice over IP communications systems where the data is voice information that is kept in small packets to avoid latency.
