ROUTING TRAFFICS HAVING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DESTINATIONS IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240356868 titled 'ROUTING TRAFFICS HAVING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DESTINATIONS IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

The patent application describes apparatuses, methods, and systems for routing a network with multiple sources, a primary destination, secondary destinations, and routing elements.

• A routing element consists of an input port, a primary output port, a set of secondary output ports, and a control unit.
• The control unit selects a secondary output port to deliver a message to a secondary destination if the port is functional.
• If the secondary destination is nonfunctional, the control unit selects the primary output port to deliver the message to the primary destination.
• The technology optimizes message delivery in a network with multiple destinations and routing options.
• This innovation enhances the efficiency and reliability of message routing in complex networks.

Potential Applications:

• Telecommunications networks
• Data centers
• Internet routing systems

Problems Solved:

• Efficient routing in networks with multiple destinations
• Reducing message delivery delays
• Improving network reliability

Benefits:

• Enhanced message delivery efficiency
• Increased network reliability
• Optimal use of routing resources

Commercial Applications:

• Telecommunication companies
• Data center operators
• Internet service providers

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve message delivery in complex networks?

  - This technology optimizes message routing by selecting the most efficient output port based on the destination's functional state.

2. What are the potential applications of this routing technology in different industries?

  - This technology can be applied in various sectors such as telecommunications, data centers, and internet routing systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems of routing network containing a set of sources, a primary destination, a set of secondary destinations, and one or more routing elements. a routing element includes an input port, a set of output ports including a primary output port and a set of secondary output ports, and a control unit. the control unit is arranged to select a secondary output port to deliver a received message when the intended destination of the message is a secondary destination and the secondary output port is in a functional state. otherwise, the control unit is arranged to select the primary output port to deliver the received message to the primary destination when the intended destination is the secondary destination and the secondary output port that reaches the secondary destination is in a nonfunctional state. other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
