Abstract
A system, method, and router in a packet-switched communication network for enhancing network performance when data packets are transported utilizing a link layer protocol such as the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Lengthy low priority data packets are fragmented at each hop. A router receiving the fragments of the data packets routes the fragments to a subsequent hop independent of whether other fragments from the same data packets have reached the router. High priority data packets are passed through unfragmented.
