==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PPV INFORMATION IN ETHERNET, IPV4, IPV6, and MPLS PACKET/FRAME HEADERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026164 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PPV INFORMATION IN ETHERNET, IPV4, IPV6, and MPLS PACKET/FRAME HEADERS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method performed by a receiving node in a network system.
* The receiving node receives a packet/frame from a transmitting node.
* The packet/frame contains Per Packet Value (PPV) information, which indicates the importance level of the packet/frame based on the marking policy of the transmitting node.
* The packet/frame can be an Ethernet packet, an IPv4 packet, an IPv6 packet, a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet, or a multilayer packet describing any combination of the previous types.
* The receiving node processes the PPV information in the received packet/frame if it is configured to handle such information.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a method performed by a receiving node. The method includes receiving a packet/frame comprising Per Packet Value (PPV) information from a transmitting node, wherein the PPV information indicates a level of importance of the packet/frame determined based on a marking policy of the transmitting node, and wherein the packet/frame comprises (a) an Ethernet packet, (b) an IPv4 packet, (c) an IPv6 packet, (d) a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet, or (e) a multilayer packet descriptive of one or more of (a)-(d). The method includes processing the PPV information in the received packet/frame when the receiving node is configured to handle the PPV information.
