Abstract
This method enables the reconstitution of messages fragmented in packets. It comprises a process for taking a census of the packets made available to a terminal () by transmission networks (Na, Nb) and a process for the reassembling of messages from packets listed by the census-taking process. These two processes implement a table of pointers pointing at the packets made available to the terminal () by the transmission networks (Na, Nb), sorted out by membership message, said pointers being placed, for each membership message, in a stack according to the order in which the packets that they point at are made available to the terminal () and being provided with information or status fields enabling the reporting of doubles or discrepancies between the order in which the packets of a stack are made available and the natural order of the message fragments constituted by the payloads of the packets, and the fate of the packet pointed at during the reassembling process.
