Transmission of data over parallel links

摘要

A method of transmitting data over a plurality of parallel transmission links, including dividing the data into a plurality of portions, and for each one of the portions in consecutive order providing the portion to a transmitter, and sending the portion over a transmission link connected to the transmitter, wherein the providing is made according to a plan which is independent of addressing information associated with the data. A method for reassembling data from a plurality of portions of the data received over a plurality of parallel transmission links including copying a first portion, according to an order among the portions, thereby producing partially reassembled data, from each one of the plurality of parallel transmission links, copying and appending a next portion to the partially reassembled data, according to the order among the portions, and continuing the copying and appending until the data has been completely reassembled. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

1. A method of transmitting data over a plurality of parallel transmission links, comprising:
using, at a given instant, a plurality of apportioning plans; associating, at the given instant, each one of the plurality of the apportioning plans with a respective one of the plurality of parallel transmission links; dividing the data into a plurality of portions; and for each one of the portions of the data, in a consecutive order of the portions of the data: providing the portion of the data to a respective one of the transmission links, in round robin order, based on the transmission link's associated apportioning plan; and sending the portion of the data over the transmission link connected to the transmitter, wherein each one of the apportioning plans is independent of addressing information associated with the portion of the data.
