The present invention is a methodology for providing packet aggregation
based on transmission window size to achieve improved transport
efficiency. One embodiment of the invention includes the steps of
receiving an indication of a transmission window size for packets to be
transmitted from a first location to a second location where the
transmission window size provided by a flow control message. The
transmission window size is utilized to determine a bundling factor for
transmission of packets from said first location to said second location,
the bundling factor being a lesser of a maximum bundling factor and the
transmission window size. A transmission window size threshold represents
a boundary for a size of a transmission window when transmission of
existing frames may be delayed. The frames are bundled according to the
bundling factor if the transmission window size is greater than the
transmission window size threshold.
