Abstract
In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides creating a segmentable message based, at least in part, on a transmit PDU (protocol data unit) instruction, the segmentable message having one or more PDUs, creating an MSB (message segmentation block) corresponding to the segmentable message, and transmitting the segmentable message using the corresponding MSB.
Claims42
A method comprising:
- creating a segmentable message based, at least in part, on a transmit PDU (protocol data unit) instruction, the segmentable message having one or more PDUs;
- creating an MSB (message segmentation block) corresponding to the segmentable message;
- and
- transmitting the segmentable message using the corresponding MSB.
An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry to:
- create a segmentable message based, at least in part, on a transmit PDU (protocol data unit) instruction, the segmentable message having one or more PDUs;
- create an MSB (message segmentation block) corresponding to the segmentable message;
- and
- transmit the segmentable message using the corresponding MSB.
A system comprising:
- a circuit board having a circuit card slot;
- a circuit card coupled to the circuit board via the circuit card slot, the circuit card having circuitry to:
- create a segmentable message based, at least in part, on a transmit PDU (protocol data unit) instruction, the segmentable message having one or more PDUs;
- create an MSB (message segmentation block) corresponding to the segmentable message;
- and
- transmit the segmentable message using the corresponding MSB.
An article of manufacture having stored thereon instructions, the instructions when executed by a machine, result in the following:
- creating a segmentable message based, at least in part, on a transmit PDU (protocol data unit) instruction, the segmentable message having one or more PDUs;
- creating an MSB (message segmentation block) corresponding to the segmentable message;
- and
- transmitting the segmentable message using the corresponding MSB.
