Systems and methods for bonding multiple data links with differential delay

摘要

An aggregation module receives a data packet. A bonding engine of the aggregation module breaks the data packet into fragments, and each fragment is part of a bonding group that is assigned a sequence identifier that allows the data packet to be reconstructed from the fragments. Each fragment is provided to one of a plurality of transmitters to be transmitted over a data link. When a noise event occurs on one of the data links, the fragments stored at the transmitter associated with that data link are transferred to another transmitter within the same bonding group for transmission over a different data link.
