Abstract
A system and method for aggregating and fragmenting packets is described. Data packets containing voice data and other data that suffer significantly in quality when delayed may be aggregated together and fragmented. The aggregation and fragmentation permits networks to push these time-sensitive packets more easily through a network based on priority given to fragmented data.
