Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a method and apparatus for providing fragmentation at a transport level along a transmission path. The method comprises receiving a data packet from a first remote device for transmission to a second remote device, wherein the data packet includes a transport-level protocol packet encapsulated in a network-level protocol packet and determining if a size of the received data packet is greater than a maximum transmission unit (MTU) value. The method further comprises performing fragmentation of the data packet at a transport-level protocol into two or more fragments in response to determining that the size of the received data packet is greater than the MTU value and transmitting one or more of the fragments to the second remote device.
