INSTANCE-AFFINE SERVICE SCHEDULING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113959 titled 'INSTANCE-AFFINE SERVICE SCHEDULING

Simplified Explanation

The routing device described in the abstract is designed to efficiently handle packets in a flow of packets to different instances of a service function. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The controller of the routing device sets up forwarding states for packets in a flow to direct them to specific instances of a service function.
  • When a packet is received, the device checks if it matches an existing forwarding state for subsequent packets in the flow.
  • If the packet does not match, a new forwarding state is established for that specific instance of the service function.
  • The device then prepares to send the packet to the next hop based on the established forwarding state.
  • If the packet matches an existing forwarding state, it is prepared to be sent to the next hop accordingly.
      1. Potential Applications of this Technology:

- Network traffic management - Service function chaining in cloud computing environments

      1. Problems Solved by this Technology:

- Efficient routing of packets in a flow to different instances of a service function - Simplifying the management of network traffic

      1. Benefits of this Technology:

- Improved performance in handling packet flows - Enhanced scalability in network operations

      1. Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology:
        1. Optimizing Network Traffic Routing for Service Functions
      1. Possible Prior Art:

No known prior art at this time.

        1. Unanswered Questions:
      1. How does this technology impact network security?

This technology can potentially enhance network security by efficiently routing packets to specific instances of service functions, allowing for better monitoring and control over network traffic.

      1. What are the scalability limitations of this technology?

The abstract mentions preparing to send packets to the next hop based on established forwarding states. It would be interesting to explore how this technology handles scalability issues as network traffic increases and the number of service function instances grows.


Original Abstract Submitted

a routing device includes a controller configured to establish a first forwarding state for an initial packet of a flow of packets to one or more of a plurality of instances of a service function and receive a packet of the flow of packets. if the received packet does not match a second forwarding state for subsequent packets of the flow of packets, the routing device establishes the second forwarding state to a particular one of the one or more of a plurality of instances of the service function, and prepares to send the received packet to a next hop in accordance with the first forwarding state. if the received packet matches the second forwarding state, the routing device prepares to send the received packet to the next hop in accordance with the second forwarding state.
