Transparent packet splitting and recombining

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a router, a first packet from a first device coupled to the router via a network, the first packet addressed to a second device;
• receiving, by the router, a second packet from the first device, the second packet addressed to the second device;
• receiving, by the router, a third packet from a third device coupled to the router via the network, the third packet being addressed to the second device;
• based on the first packet being addressed to the second device, routing, by the router, the first packet to the second device;
• based on the second packet being addressed to the second device, routing, by the router, the second packet to the second device;
• based on the first packet being addressed to the second device and having a first sequence indicator set, delaying transmission of the third packet to the second device by the router;
• and
• routing, by the router and based on the second packet having a second sequence indicator cleared, the third packet to the second device after routing the second packet to the second device.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by a router coupled to a first device, a second device, and a third device via a network, cause the router to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first packet from the first device, the first packet being addressed to the second device;
• based on the first packet being addressed to the second device, routing the first packet to the second device;
• receiving a third packet from the third device, the third packet being addressed to the second device;
• based on the first packet being addressed to the second device and having a first sequence indicator set, delaying transmission of the third packet to the second device;
• receiving a second packet from the first device, the second packet being addressed to the second device, the second packet having a second sequence indicator cleared;
• based on the second packet being addressed to the second device, routing the second packet to the second device;
• and
• after routing the second packet to the second device, based on the second packet having the second sequence indicator cleared, routing the third packet to the second device.
