FAIR AND PERFORMANT ARBITRATION IN A ROUTING COMPONENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240333655 titled 'FAIR AND PERFORMANT ARBITRATION IN A ROUTING COMPONENT
The abstract of this patent application describes a method performed by a routing component to handle the forwarding of packets to multiple destinations efficiently.
- The method involves receiving a packet destined for multiple destinations, storing it in a queue, and determining whether to transmit it to the neighboring routing component for further forwarding.
- An arbiter associated with a transmission port is used to make the decision on which destinations the packet should be forwarded to.
- The routing component reads the packet from the queue without removing it and transmits it to the neighboring routing component through the transmission port.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be applied in networking equipment to improve the efficiency of packet forwarding to multiple destinations. - It could be used in data centers to enhance the performance of routing components in handling network traffic.
Problems Solved: - Efficiently forwarding packets to multiple destinations without unnecessary delays or duplications. - Optimizing the use of transmission ports in routing components to improve overall network performance.
Benefits: - Improved network efficiency and reduced latency in forwarding packets to multiple destinations. - Enhanced scalability and performance of routing components in handling complex network traffic patterns.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Packet Forwarding Technology for Networking Equipment This technology could be commercialized by networking equipment manufacturers to develop high-performance routers and switches for data centers, telecommunications networks, and enterprise environments. The improved packet forwarding capabilities could attract customers looking for reliable and efficient networking solutions.
Questions about Enhanced Packet Forwarding Technology: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional packet forwarding methods in terms of efficiency and performance? 2. What are the potential cost savings for companies implementing this technology in their network infrastructure?
Original Abstract Submitted
in one embodiment, a method by a routing component includes receiving a packet to be forwarded to a neighboring routing component, the packet being predicted to be further forwarded to a plurality of destinations from the neighboring routing component, storing the packet to a fifo queue, determining to transmit the packet to the neighboring routing component for one or more destinations by using an arbiter associated with a transmission port connected to the neighboring routing component, determining that the plurality of destinations comprise one or more remaining destinations in addition to the one or more destinations, reading without popping the packet from the fifo queue, and transmitting the packet to the neighboring routing component through the transmission port.
