Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and a network device for partitioning data sets for transmission on multiple physical links in a network. Specifically, a network device receives a particular data set addressed to a client device. The network device partitions the particular data set into at least a first subset of data and a second subset of data. Then, the network device encapsulates the first subset of data using a first header and encapsulating the second subset of data using a second header that results in (a) data with the first header being transmitted on a first physical link and (b) data with the second header being transmitted on a second physical link different than the first physical link. Finally, the network device transmits the first subset of data with the first header and the second subset of data with the second header.
