1. A method facilitating the re-sequencing of user cells transmitted across one or more bonded communications paths, comprising:

  • receiving user cells, wherein each user cell has a sequence number associated therewith;

    generating time stamp values for the user cells, wherein the time stamp value is based on the time the user cell is received;

    writing the user cells and corresponding time stamps to locations in a sequence queue based on the respective sequence numbers associated with the user cells;

    maintaining the lowest time stamp value and the location in the sequence queue corresponding to the user cell having the lowest sequence number;

    performing a conditional read operation on the sequence queue to read the user cell associated with the lowest sequence number, wherein the read operation is conditioned on the current time being greater than or equal to the time the first user cell was received plus a delta time.
