ADAPTIVE PACKET ROUTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18122572 titled 'ADAPTIVE PACKET ROUTING

Simplified Explanation:

The abstract describes a method for encoding and routing packets in a multi-path communication network based on network performance.

  • Packets are encoded with a hash seed at the source endpoint.
  • The hash seed is modified based on network performance.
  • The modified hash seed is used to route the packet to the destination endpoint.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Encoding packets with a hash seed for routing in a multi-path communication network.
  • Tracking network performance and modifying the hash seed accordingly.
  • Re-sending packets with the modified hash seed for optimized routing.

Potential Applications:

This technology can be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and cloud computing for efficient packet routing.

Problems Solved:

  • Optimizing packet routing in multi-path communication networks.
  • Improving network performance based on real-time data.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced network efficiency and performance.
  • Reduced latency and packet loss.
  • Improved overall network reliability.

Commercial Applications:

Optimized packet routing technology can be used in telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and cloud computing services to improve network performance and reliability.

Questions about Packet Routing Optimization:

1. How does the modification of the hash seed based on network performance improve packet routing efficiency? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale communication networks?


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer implemented method includes encoding a packet in a source endpoint of a multi-path communication network, the packet having a hash seed for use by routers to route the packet through the multi-path communication network to a destination endpoint. Network performance is tracked for the packet at the source endpoint. The hash seed is modified as a function of the network performance. The packet is re-sent such that the modified hash seed is used to route the packet to the destination endpoint.
