Abstract
Data transmission over a network is disclosed. The data transmission includes aligning boundaries of application, transport, network, and data link layer packets. The transmission also includes receiving data transmission channel information, and determining a suitable number of data link layer packets per application/transport/network layer packet. The determination is based on the channel information. The suitable number of data link layer packets allows continuous alignment between the boundaries of the application, transport, network, and data link layer packets.
