In a packet based communications network, packet aggregation is the process of joining multiple packets together into a single transmission unit, in order to reduce the overhead associated with each transmission. Packet aggregation is useful in situations where each transmission unit may have significant overhead syncword preamble s, headers, cyclic redundancy check , etc. or where the expected packet size is small compared to the maximum amount of information that can be transmitted. In a communication system based on a layered OSI model , packet aggregation may be responsible for joining multiple MSDU s into a single MPDU that can be delivered to the physical layer as a single unit for transmission. The ITU T G.hn standard, which provides a way to create a high speed up to 1 Gigabit s Local area network using existing home wiring Power line communication power lines , phone lines and Ethernet over coax coaxial cables , is an example of a protocol that employs packet aggregation to increase efficiency.

unreferenced date March 2010 In a data communications networks, packet segmentation is the process of dividing a data packet into smaller units for transmission over the network. Segmentation may be required in many scenarios When the data packet is larger than the maximum size supported by the network. When the network is unreliable and it s desirable to divide the information into smaller segments to maximize the probability that each one of them can be delivered correctly to the destination. Protocols that perform packet segmentation at the source usually include a mechanism at the destination to reverse the process and reassemble the original packet from individual segments. This process may include automatic repeat request ARQ mechanisms to detect missing segments and to request the source to re transmit specific segments. In a communication system based on a layered OSI model , packet segmentation may be responsible for splitting one MPDU into multiple physical layer service data unit s so that reliable transmission and potential re transmission via ARQ of each one can be performed individually. The ITU T G.hn standard, which provides a way to create a high speed up to 1 Gigabit s local area network using existing home wiring Power line communication power lines , phone lines and Ethernet over coax coaxial cables , is an example of a protocol that employs packet segmentation to increase reliability over noisy media.

multiple issues disputed May 2008 POV May 2008 unreferenced July 2008 optical disc authoring Packet writing or IPW original term Incremental Packet Writing , is an optical disc recording technology used to allow write once and rewritable CD and DVD media to be used in a similar manner to a floppy disk from within the operating system , i.e., it allows users to create, modify, and delete files and directories on demand without the need to optical disc authoring burn a whole disc. Packet writing technology achieves this by writing data in incremental blocks rather than in a single block. The most common file system for packet writing systems is the Universal Disk Format UDF format. Deleting files and directories of a CD R using packet writing technology does not recover the space occupied by these objects but are simply marked as being deleted. Similarly, changes to files cause new instances to be created instead of replacing the original files. Because of this, the available space on a medium using packet writing technology will slowly diminish every time its content is modified. For rewritable discs, however, this doesn t necessarily occur there exists technology that allows them to be used as truly removable storage media, fully and freely writable see Universal Disk Format UDF . Due to the characteristics of optical rewritable media such as CD RW s and DVD RW s, the ability of data sectors to hold their contents wear out by changing them frequently since re crystallized alloy de crystallizes . To cope with this the packet writing system can remap bad sectors with good sectors as required. These bad sectors cannot be recovered by formatting the media.

A packet switch is a node networking node in a telecommunications network network which uses the packet switching paradigm for data communication. Packet switches can operate at a number of different levels in a protocol suite although the exact technical details differ, fundamentally they all perform the same function they store and forward packet information technology packet s. One common class of contemporary packet switches are the network bridge bridge and network hub , which interconnect multiple network segments at the data link layer . Another is the Router computing router , a device which operates at the internetwork layer , and connects dissimilar kinds of networks, such as serial line s and local area network s. Generally, packet switches only perform communication related functions, but in some systems the computers which performed the packet switching function were also used for data storage and computation. Originally, packet switches were built around standard minicomputer s. Today, almost all packet switches are specialized hardware devices, ranging in size and performance from small local hubs up to the large switching systems used by major Internet service provider s. However, software is available which allows a personal computer to function as a low performance packet switch.
