Abstract
A data packet to be transmitted over a network is segmented at an adjustable fragment boundary. The fragment boundary is the maximum amount of data of the data packet to be sent, segmented, or divided into a given packet fragment for over-network transmission. The data packet has an n-bit identifier, such that the packet fragments into which the data packet has been segmented each has this same n-bit identifier. The packet fragments are transmitted over a network. If the n-bit identifier is at a maximum value, then the fragment boundary is adjusted so that it is now different. The n-bit identifier is then increased, such that the n-bit identifier rolls over to a minimum value when increased after being at the maximum value. The process is repeated for each additional data packet to be transmitted over the network.
