DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514378 titled 'DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a data processing method and apparatus for managing network traffic based on buffer thresholds and priorities.
- If a target buffer on a network device reaches a first threshold, a pause message is sent to an upstream device to stop sending data packets corresponding to the target priority.
- If the network device stops buffering a second data packet for a duration longer than a preset duration and the target buffer falls below a second threshold, a sending resumption message is sent to the upstream device to resume sending data packets.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in network traffic management systems to prioritize and control data flow based on buffer thresholds and priorities.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of network traffic to prevent congestion and prioritize important data. 2. Automated handling of network traffic based on preset thresholds and priorities.
Benefits
1. Improved network performance and reliability. 2. Reduction of network congestion and packet loss. 3. Automated traffic management for increased efficiency.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized Network Traffic Management for Improved Performance
Original Abstract Submitted
This application describes examples of a data processing method and apparatus. In one example, the method includes: If a target buffer that is corresponding to a target priority and that is on a network device reaches a first threshold, the network device sends a pause message to an upstream device, so that the upstream device stops sending a first data packet corresponding to the target priority. If a duration in which the network device stops buffering a second data packet is greater than a preset duration, and the target buffer falls back below a second threshold, the network device sends a sending resumption message to the upstream device, so that the upstream device sends a third data packet corresponding to the target priority.
