Multi-Queue Packet Processing Performed by an Intermediate Device in a Communication Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267291 titled 'Multi-Queue Packet Processing Performed by an Intermediate Device in a Communication Network
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system where an intermediate device in a communication network assigns incoming packets to either a Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput (L4S) queue or a non-L4S queue based on packet value size. The device then calculates congestion threshold values for each queue based on the packet value size counters and marks packets as congested based on these thresholds.
- Intermediate device assigns packets to L4S or non-L4S queues based on packet value size
- Packet value size counters are associated with each queue
- Device increments packet value size counters based on packet size
- Congestion threshold values are calculated for each queue based on packet value size counters
- Packets are marked as congested based on congestion threshold values
Potential Applications
- Improving network performance by efficiently managing packet congestion
- Enhancing Quality of Service (QoS) for different types of traffic
Problems Solved
- Efficiently managing packet congestion in communication networks
- Providing differentiated services for different types of traffic based on packet value size
Benefits
- Improved network performance and reduced congestion
- Enhanced Quality of Service for users with different traffic requirements
Original Abstract Submitted
An intermediate device () of a communication network () assigns each of a plurality of received packets () to either a Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput (L4S) queue () or a non-L4S queue (). Each queue () is associated with one packet value size counter for each of the plurality of packet values (). The intermediate device () increments, for each packet () and by a size of the packet (), the packet value size counter associated with the queue () to which the packet () is assigned and calculates, for each queue (), a congestion threshold value based on the packet value size counters associated with the queue (). The intermediate device () marks one or more of the packets () as having experienced congestion based on the congestion threshold values of the queues ().
