MANAGEMENT OF PACKET TRANSMISSION AND RESPONSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18391579 titled 'MANAGEMENT OF PACKET TRANSMISSION AND RESPONSES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application related to a router with circuitry that can detect and drop packets of a flow, subsequently dropping received packets of the same flow, and forwarding packets associated with the dropped packet.
- The router includes an interface and circuitry coupled to the interface.
- The circuitry is designed to detect a drop of a packet of a flow.
- Upon detecting a drop, the circuitry subsequently drops received packets of the same flow.
- When a packet associated with the dropped packet is received, the circuitry forwards the received packet and subsequent received packets of the flow.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in network routing systems to improve packet forwarding efficiency and network performance.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of packet flows in a network. 2. Reduction of network congestion by dropping unnecessary packets.
Benefits
1. Enhanced network performance. 2. Improved packet routing efficiency. 3. Reduced network congestion.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing network traffic in data centers, improving cloud computing performance, enhancing network security by efficiently managing packet flows.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing technologies related to packet dropping and forwarding in network routers, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the circuitry differentiate between packets of different flows?
The abstract does not specify how the circuitry distinguishes between packets of different flows to accurately drop and forward packets.
What impact does this technology have on network latency?
The abstract does not address how this technology may affect network latency or if there are any potential latency issues associated with the packet dropping and forwarding process.
Original Abstract Submitted
Examples described herein relate to a router. In some examples, the router includes an interface and circuitry coupled to the interface. In some examples, the circuitry is to: based on detection of a drop of a packet of a flow: drop subsequently received packets of the flow and based on receipt of a packet associated with the dropped packet of the flow, forward the received packet and subsequent received packets of the flow.
