Managing a Delay of Network Segments in an End-To-End Communication Path - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18167531 titled 'Managing a Delay of Network Segments in an End-To-End Communication Path
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system and method for managing a delay of network segments in an end-to-end communication path by determining the end-to-end time delay measurement of a communication path spanning two communication networks and transmitting this measurement to a network element to configure the network to provide sufficient Quality of Service (QoS) to support an end-to-end QoS requirement.
- Explanation of the patent:
- Determine end-to-end time delay measurement of a communication path - Transmit the measurement to a network element for network configuration - Enable the network to provide sufficient QoS for end-to-end QoS requirement
Potential applications of this technology: - Telecommunications industry - Internet service providers - Network management systems
Problems solved by this technology: - Ensuring Quality of Service in end-to-end communication paths - Managing delays in network segments
Benefits of this technology: - Improved network performance - Enhanced user experience - Efficient resource allocation
Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Network optimization solutions - QoS management services - Communication infrastructure providers
Possible prior art: - Existing network delay management systems - QoS monitoring tools
Unanswered questions: 1. How does this technology handle dynamic changes in network conditions? 2. What are the potential limitations of this system in large-scale networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of systems and methods for managing a delay of network segments in an end-to-end communication path may include determining an end-to-end time delay measurement of a communication path spanning a first communication network and a second communication network, and transmitting a message comprising the determined end-to-end time delay measurement of the communication path spanning the first communication network and the second communication network to a network element of the first communication network, wherein the message is configured to enable the network element of the first communication network to configure the first communication network to provide sufficient Quality of Service (QoS) to support an end-to-end QoS requirement based on the determined end-to-end time delay.
