Packet generation methods and devices for ordered data offloads
Devices, methods, and systems for packet generation for ordered data offloads are provided. The method includes receiving a first transmission request associated with a first message for transmission via a communication network. The first message includes data entries, a first message size defined by the data entries, and a first order by which at least a portion of the data entries are to be executed. The method also includes determining a maximum transport unit (MTU) for a first transport queue associated with the communication network. The first transport queue is associated with packet spreading operations, and the MTU of the first transport queue defines a maximum packet size for packets transmitted via the first transport queue. The method further includes generating first data packet based on the first message having a size that is less than or equal to the MTU for the first transport queue.
