1. A method of transferring data through a network by adaptively fragmenting frames of information into subframes, the method comprising:

  • receiving at a first node of said network a low-priority frame;

    segmenting said low-priority frame into a fragmented frame comprised of at least a first subframe and a second subframe;

    receiving at said first node of said network a high-priority frame;

    transmitting said high-priority frame to a second node of said network following transmission of said first subframe to said second node;

    transmitting said second subframe to said second node following transmission of said high-priority frame to said second node; and

    appending a first identifying field to said first subframe and a second identifying field to said second subframe, said first and second identifying fields respectively indicating the relative position of said first subframe and said second subframe within said fragmented frame.
