Abstract
An apparatus for receiving data over a communications link is provided. The apparatus includes a processing system configured to support a protocol stack comprising a first layer and a second layer. The processing system is configured to receive a plurality of data packets. Each of the data packets includes a first segment for processing at the first layer. Each of the first segments includes a first header and a first payload. Each of the first payloads includes a second segment having a second header and a second payload. The processing system is also configured to determine, at the first layer, whether to reorder the second segments for in-sequence delivery to the second layer based on information in one or more of the second headers or one or more configuration information from the processing system.
