ENCODING OF AN IMPLICIT PACKET SEQUENCE NUMBER IN A PACKET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231726 titled 'ENCODING OF AN IMPLICIT PACKET SEQUENCE NUMBER IN A PACKET
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a network interface device with direct memory access (DMA) circuitry, a network interface, a host interface, and circuitry.
- The circuitry processes packets received by the network interface.
- In a first configuration, the circuitry determines an Extended Sequence Number (ESN) value based on the content of the packet without using ESN prediction.
- In a second configuration, the circuitry determines ESN using prediction.
Original Abstract Submitted
Examples described herein relate to a network interface device. In some examples, the network interface device includes direct memory access (DMA) circuitry, a network interface, a host interface, and circuitry. The circuitry can be configured to process a packet received by the network interface; for a first configuration, determine an Extended Sequence Number (ESN) value based on content of the packet without performance of ESN prediction; and for a second configuration, determine ESN using prediction.
