First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for fragmenting an incoming packet for transmission as a first outgoing packet and a second outgoing packet, the method comprising:
- storing within computer memory of a gateway device a payload of the incoming packet in a plurality of storage units beginning in a first storage unit, wherein a size of the incoming packet exceeds a maximum packet size for a network connection;
the gateway device transmitting on the network connection the first outgoing packet being formed according to a predetermined portion of the payload stored in the first storage unit; and
after transmitting the first outgoing packet, the gateway device transmitting on the network connection the second outgoing packet being formed according to a remaining portion of the payload stored in the storage units;
wherein the remaining portion corresponds to a majority of the payload of the incoming packet.

10. A method for fragmenting an incoming packet for inclusion in a first outgoing packet and a second outgoing packet, the method comprising:
-
storing a payload of the incoming packet as a first fragment and a second fragment in a plurality of storage units within computer memory of a gateway device, wherein a size of the incoming packet exceeds a maximum packet size for a network connection; the gateway device including the first fragment in the first outgoing packet; and after including the first fragment in the first outgoing packet, the gateway device including the second fragment in the second outgoing packet; wherein the second fragment corresponds to a majority of the payload of the incoming packet. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for fragmenting an incoming packet for transmission as first and second outgoing packets, the method comprising:
-
storing payload of the incoming packet in a storage unit within computer memory of a gateway device, wherein a size of the incoming packet exceeds a maximum packet size for a network connection; the gateway device transmitting the first outgoing packet being formed according to a predetermined portion of the payload stored in the storage unit; and after transmitting the first outgoing packet, the gateway device transmitting the second outgoing packet being formed according to a remaining portion of the payload stored in the storage unit; wherein the size of the second outgoing packet is larger than that of the first outgoing packet. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
