Virtual Channel Balancing In Ring-Based Topologies - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966134 titled 'Virtual Channel Balancing In Ring-Based Topologies

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for routing data packets in a ring network. Here are the key points explained in bullet points:

  • Data packets are transmitted to a destination node and may be received by a first structure at a first node.
  • The first node determines the number of hops the data packet will traverse to reach the destination node.
  • The determined number of hops is compared to a threshold hop value to decide the routing path.
  • If the number of hops is greater than the threshold, the data packet is sent to a dimension queuing structure for a first virtual channel within a second node.
  • If the number of hops is equal to or less than the threshold, the data packet is transmitted to a dimension queuing structure for a second virtual channel or a turn queuing structure within the second node.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and method for routing data packets in ring network. A data packet being transmitted to a destination node may be received by a first structure at a first node. The first node may determine a number of hops the data packet will traverse as it is transmitted from the first node to the destination node and compare the determined number of hops to a threshold hop value to determine whether the number of hops is equal to or less than the threshold hop value. If the number of hops is greater than the threshold, the data packet may be transmitted to a dimension queuing structure for a first virtual channel within a second node, otherwise, the data packet may be transmitted to a dimension queuing structure for a second virtual channel or a turn queuing structure within the second node.
