Segmentation

Message Segmentation

To transmit a diagnostic message, its information (payload and addressing) must be encoded into one or more segments. In this documentation, these segments are referred to as Packets.

Note

The segmentation process is network-specific due to differences in topologies and communication models (e.g., Master/Slave) enforced by each network.

Packets Desegmentation

Desegmentation is the reverse of message segmentation. It reconstructs a diagnostic message from one or more Packets.

Note

While a diagnostic message can be segmented in multiple ways, there is always only one correct method to perform desegmentation and decode the message from packets.
