JUMBOSLICE

Computer hardware and computer software programs for jumbo frame fragmentation and re-assembly Key technology pillar used in the ASE product. - Refers to the ability of the ASE segment larger size Ethernet frames (up to 9600 bytes) and then reassemble. - This allows the ASE3300 to ingress Ethernet data flows generating jumbo packets (defined as andgt;1518 bytes and andlt;=9600) bytes, segment into smaller maximum transmission units (MTUs) so that they can be routed or switched through standard IP or Ethernet wide area networks. - Through the use of sequence numbers inserted by the ASE3300 prior to encapsulation of a datagram into the HyperTUNNEL, the corresponding ASE33300 at the receiving end can reconstruct the original jumbo packet upon egress
