Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting data over a channel having a variable transmission rate. A transmitter determines the rate of transmission of the data over the channel and receives a datagram for transmission over the channel at the determined rate of transmission. The transmitter divides the datagram into fragments of a size no greater than a size limit that is set for the datagram responsive to the determined rate of transmission and transmits the fragments over the channel.
