Summary:An apparatus, method, and computer program for efficient rapid loss detection in a channel bonding system. A received packet having a packet sequence number (PSN) not equal to a next expected PSN is queued. A channel counter for a first channel on which the received packet was received is incremented. If all channel counters are non-zero, increment the next expected PSN to equal a lowest queued packet PSN. Forward the queued packet with the lowest queued packet PSN. Decrement a channel counter for a second channel from which the lowest PSN packet is forwarded.
