STATEFUL SERVICE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965112 titled 'STATEFUL SERVICE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for processing packets in a stateful service. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves preprocessing a received packet to obtain a coalescing message.
- The packet is then coalesced into a queue based on the coalescing message.
- The queue is used to combine packets of a specific connection where a stateful service is located.
- When a certain condition is met, a set of packets in the queue is processed based on the context of the connection.
- The processing results in a second packet, which is then transmitted to the host.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This method can be applied in various communication technologies that involve stateful services, such as network routers, firewalls, or load balancers.
- It can be used to improve the efficiency and performance of packet processing in these systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method solves the problem of efficiently processing packets in a stateful service by coalescing them into queues based on their connection.
- It also addresses the challenge of maintaining the context of the connection and using it to process multiple packets at once.
Benefits of this technology:
- By coalescing packets into queues, the method reduces the overhead of processing individual packets, leading to improved efficiency.
- The use of updated connection context allows for more effective processing of packets, resulting in better performance.
- The method enables faster packet transmission to the host, enhancing overall system responsiveness.
Original Abstract Submitted
A stateful service processing method and apparatus are provided, related to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: preprocessing a received first packet to obtain a coalescing message of the first packet; coalescing the first packet into a first queue based on the coalescing message of the first packet, where the first queue is used to coalesce packets of a first connection to which the first packet belongs, and the first connection is a connection in which a stateful service is located; when a preset condition is met, processing, based on a context of the first connection, a plurality of packets coalesced in the first queue to obtain a second packet, where the context of the first connection is an updated context obtained after a previous second packet of the first connection is obtained; and transmitting the second packet to the host.
