Buffer Segmentation and Reassembly

In cases where a higher-level transmit application, or higher layer in a communications stack, must transmit a buffer of data that exceeds the JEEP MTU size, the buffer must be segmented into a series of JEEP packets and then reassembled at the receive TEP before returning the buffer to the next higher-level receive application.

A maximum buffer size must be agreed upon by both transmit and receive TEPs to preclude excessive resource allocations.
