• Place data as it arrives, whether in or out-of-order
• If data is out-of-order, place it at the appropriate offset
• Issues from the application’s perspective:
– Second half of the message has been placed does not mean that
the first half of the message has arrived as well
– If one message has been placed, it does not mean that that the
previous messages have been placed
• Issues from protocol stack’s perspective
– The receiver network stack has to understand each frame of data
• If the frame is unchanged during transmission, this is easy!
– The MPA protocol layer adds appropriate information at regular
intervals to allow the receiver to identify fragmented frames
