A packet is communicated between a first node and a second node by assigning a plurality of packet fragments to a plurality of communication links connecting the first node and the second node, respectively, such that respective sizes of the plurality of packet fragments are based on respective bandwidths of the plurality of communication links. The plurality of packet fragments is transmitted on the plurality of communication links from the first node to the second node. The plurality of packet fragments is then reassembled at the second node upon receipt.
