Abstract
A method for performing multilink communications may include applying a quality-of-service (QoS) policy to incoming traffic, where the QoS policy operates to identify a first portion and a second portion of the incoming traffic. The method may include fragmenting the first portion of the incoming traffic into a group of fragments. The method may include sequencing the group of fragments and the second portion of the incoming traffic into a sequenced flow, where the sequencing causes the second portion to be interleaved among the group of fragments so that the sequenced flow can be made available to a first link and a second link as multilink traffic, where the first link carries a first portion of the multilink traffic and the second link carries a second portion of the multilink traffic.
