Abstract
A method for communicating data is provided that includes receiving a plurality of bits associated with a communications flow. The method also includes configuring multiplexing for a link, which is selected for transmission of data, by using a maximum fragment parameter associated with the link. The maximum fragment parameter is used as an upper limit whereby if the maximum fragment parameter is smaller than a maximum multiplex parameter, an incoming packet is multiplexed only to the maximum fragment parameter size such that multiplexed packets are not fragmented.
