segmentation and reassembly

    (Or "segmentation and reassembly", SAR) Breaking
   an arbitrary size packet into smaller pieces at the
   transmitter.  This may be necessary because of restrictions in
   the communications channel or to reduce latency.  The pieces
   are joined back together in the right order at the receiver
   ("reassembly").  Segmentation may be performed by a router
   when routing a packet to a network with a smaller maximum
   packet size.

   The term "segmentation" is used in ATM, in TCP/IP, it is
   called "fragmentation" an is performed at the IP layer
   before the "fragments" are passed to the transport layer.

   See for example ATM forum UNI 4.0 specification.
