Fragmentation and Reassembly

X330WAN supports fragmentation of IP packets according to RFC 791, and
reassembly of IP packets destined only to its interfaces.
Reassembly is associated with the following user-configurable parameters:

Fragment Size

- The maximum number of concurrently reassembled packets:

Range: 0-200; Default=100.

Fragment Timeout

- The maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a packet to be

reassembled:
Range: 5-120; Default=10.

Fragment Chain

- The maximum number of fragments allowed per packet:

Range: 2-2048; Default=64.

To configure reassembly, use the following commands:

Configuring X330WAN to Connect Branch Offices to Headquarters

Many businesses have a centralized location for their headquarters and small
branch offices. It is important that communication between the headquarters and
the branches flows quickly. The following figure shows a typical configuration of
the network connecting the headquarters with branch offices.

Note:

The following example uses sample IP addresses for illustration only.

fragment size

Sets the maximum number of fragmented IP packets
destined to the router that can be reassembled
concurrently.

fragment chain

Sets the maximum number of fragments that can
comprise a single IP packet destined to the router.

fragment timeout

Sets the maximum number of seconds to reassemble a
fragmented IP packet destined to the router.

clear fragment

Sets the reassembly parameters to their defaults, as well
as clears the reassembly database.

show fragment

Displays information regarding fragmented IP packets
destined to the router (the status of the reassembly
operation).
