Abstract
A method and system for determining a number of non-power of two sized data packets required to transport a data block. A data block size is shifted rightward by a number of bits equal to a base-two exponent of a divisor, with the bits remaining stored as a first value, and the bits removed stored as a second value. At least one binary shift is performed to calculate a third and fourth value. The fourth value is shifted and added to the second value to calculate a fifth value. At least one comparison is performed on the fifth value to process a sixth and seventh value. A number of non-power of two sized data packets is determined by summing the first, third, and sixth values, then adding one if the seventh value is not zero.
