1. A method of a station for operating in a network, the method comprising: receiving, at a media access control (MAC) layer, a plurality of high level data units from a high level layer;encapsulating content from the plurality of high level data units into sub-frames;grouping a plurality of the sub-frames that belong to a same session as a stream of sub-frames;dividing the stream of sub-frames into a plurality of segments, each segment forming part of a physical layer (PHY) block;generating a low level data unit for transmission by a physical layer, the low level data unit containing one or more PHY blocks; andproviding the low level data unit from the MAC layer to the physical layer for transmission over a shared communications medium. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of high level data units comprise a payload, and wherein encapsulating the content includes encapsulating payloads from one or more high level data units into each of the sub-frames. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein grouping the plurality of sub-frames that belong to a same session includes identifying the stream of sub-frames that have a same stream identifier. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein grouping the plurality of sub-frames that belong to a same session includes identifying the stream of sub-frames that have a same combination of a session identifier, a source address, and a destination address. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising encrypting each segment, wherein a header of a PHY block includes encryption information regarding one or more segments forming part of the PHY block. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein at least some information common to the plurality of high level data units is not repeated for high level data units encapsulated in the low level data unit. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the information common to the encapsulated high level data units comprises destination and source addresses. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein all but a last PHY block in each low level data unit have a same size. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein dividing the plurality of the sub-frames into the plurality of segments includes dividing the plurality of the sub-frames into sub-blocks and grouping a plurality of sub-blocks to form a segment. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the segment includes sub-blocks from more than one sub-frame. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a PHY block (PB) for each segment, each PB having a PB header and a PB check sequence (PBCS). 12.

The method of claim 18, wherein the sub-blocks have an associated sequential numbering adapted for use at a receiving station for re-establishing a correct sequential order of the sub-blocks, and the sub-blocks have a predetermined size, which combined with the associated sequential numbering, eliminates a need for buffer reordering when out of order segments are received. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein the MAC layer has capability of transmitting data in a plurality of sessions within a regularly-repeated contention free interval, wherein a station to which data is transmitted is identified by a destination address and a station from which data is transmitted is identified by a source address, and wherein the queue contains sub-frames for a same session, same source address, and same destination address. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein a stream identifier is used to associate content of a queue with a particular session, wherein each of a plurality of queues, contains payloads having a unique combination of stream identifier, source address, and destination address. 22. The method of claim 1, wherein individual segments are individually encrypted and encryption information common to a plurality of segments is carried in a header. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein each PHY block separately undergoes forward error correction, and a level of forward error correction used provides greater error correction capability for selected PHY blocks that are being retransmitted after failing to be correctly transmitted in an earlier attempt. 24. A system in which a plurality of stations communicate over a powerline communications medium, comprising: one station of the plurality of stations configured to operate according to a protocol that includes: a physical layer configured to handle physical communication over the powerline communications medium,a high level layer configured to receive data from the one station and further configured to provide high level data units for transmission over the powerline communications medium, anda media access control (MAC) layer configured to receive the high level data units from the high level layer and further configured to provide low level data units to the physical layer;wherein the one station if further configured to: receive, at a MAC layer, high level data units from the high level layer;encapsulate content from a plurality of the high level data units into sub-frames;group a plurality of the sub-frames that belong to a same session as a stream of sub-frames;divide the stream of sub-frames into a plurality of segments, each segment forming part of a physical layer (PHY) block;generate a low level data unit for transmission by the physical layer, the low level data units containing one or more PHY blocks; andprovide the low level data unit from the MAC layer to the physical layer for transmission over a shared communications medium.
