Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for efficient frame aggregation. Specifically, a network device queues a first set of packets until one of the first set of aggregation limits is detected. The network device then transmits the first set of packets, and receives feedback information. Then, the network device modifies the first set of aggregation limits to obtain a second set of aggregation limits based on the feedback information. The network device queues a second set of packets until one of the second set of aggregation limits is detected, and then transmits the second set of packets. Also, the network device determines whether a received packet has a particular characteristic. If so, the network device transmits the first set of packets before at least one of the first set of aggregation limits is detected.
