The present invention is directed to the aggregation of data packets and to super packets for transmission across a communication network. In accordance with the present invention, an identifier associated with individual data packets is examined to determine whether such individual packet is suitable for inclusion in a super packet containing data packets associated with individual data flows. The identification may be included within a field established for a purpose other than marking an individual data packet in connection with forming aggregate packets. In particular, preexisting data fields may be utilized to identify packets for purposes of forming aggregate data streams.
