1. A method for error control, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of packet fragments for a packet;
determining a partial error control value for each packet fragment;
combining said partial error control values into an error control value; and
performing error control for said packet using said error control value.

10. An apparatus to perform error control, comprising:
-
a padding module to add a pad byte to uneven packet fragments of a packet;
a partial checksum generator module to generate a partial error control value for each packet fragment;
a pseudo header generator module to generate a pseudo header for said packet; and
a partial checksum combiner module to combine said partial error control values into an error control value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

17. A system to perform error control, comprising:
-
a computer platform adapted to perform error control;
said platform being further adapted to receive a plurality of packet fragments for a packet, determine a partial error control value for each packet fragment, combine said partial error control values into an error control value, and perform error control for said packet using said error control value. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An article comprising:
-
a storage medium;
said storage medium including stored instructions that, when executed by a processor, result in performing error control by receiving a plurality of packet fragments for a packet, determining a partial error control value for each packet fragment, combining said partial error control values into an error control value, and performing error control for said packet using said error control value. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
