SCALABLE SOCKETS FOR QUIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18517167 titled 'SCALABLE SOCKETS FOR QUIC
The abstract describes a system with scalable sockets to support User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connections, where multiple remote clients connect to corresponding UDP connections. Each UDP socket is associated with a specific UDP connection, and a network stack lookup is performed to identify the UDP socket corresponding to each remote client. UDP packets are then buffered with send and receive buffers for the corresponding UDP socket to facilitate communication over multiple UDP connections efficiently.

Original Abstract Submitted
A system having scalable sockets to support User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connections identifies a plurality of UDP connections, wherein a plurality of remote clients connect to corresponding ones of the plurality of UDP connections. Each one of a plurality of UDP sockets is associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of UDP connections. A network stack lookup for UDP packets in network traffic is performed using a network stack to identify the UDP socket corresponding to the remote client associated with each of the UDP packet. The UDP packets are buffered with a send buffer and a receive buffer for the UDP socket corresponding to the remote client associated with the UDP packets as determined by the network stack lookup to support communication over the plurality of UDP connections using the plurality of UDP sockets. The system thereby operates more efficiently and/or is more scalable.
