Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for managing fragmented information packets in a computer network. In accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an information packet is transmitted from a client to a plurality of servers via a switch, wherein the information packet is fragmented within the computer network into at least a first fragment and a second fragment. The switch forwards the first fragment to a first server of the plurality of servers using a computer network address contained in the first fragment. The switch forwards the second fragment to a second server of the plurality of servers using connection information contained in the switch. The first server transmits to the switch a fragment fabricated by the first server, wherein the fragment fabricated by the first server contains a computer network address to which the second fragment is to be sent. The switch forwards the fragment fabricated by the first server to the second server. The second server forwards the second fragment to the computer network address contained in the fragment fabricated by the first server.
