Abstract
Fragment trains in a communication network are analyzed. A fragment train includes fragments in the same fragment train and associated with the same target system. One or more fragment reassembly policies are identified out of several fragment reassembly policies, where the fragment reassembly policy corresponds to a target system associated with fragments in a fragment train. The data in the fragments in the fragment train are provided in an order indicated by the fragment reassembly policy. The fragment reassembly policy can include determining the order responsive to an offset and a more fragments indication in the fragments, and/or indicating an order specific to overlapped fragments such as comprehensively overlapped fragments.
