Abstract
Fragmentation of non-realtime data for transmission in frame relay networks is sized dynamically according to available bandwidth. The bandwidth is determined according to burst interval and burst size calculations based on parameters including the amount and type of realtime data to be sent and the percentage of burst interval utilized by the realtime data. If no realtime data is being sent, then the fragment sizes of the non-realtime data are adjusted to utilize the entire available bandwidth.
