Network Packet Latency Management - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18736872 titled 'Network Packet Latency Management
The patent application discusses systems and methods for managing information within communication networks, focusing on monitoring and characterizing data flows with network and latency parameters, such as the time-to-buffer (TTB) parameter. Latency managers and network components can use TTB information to negotiate and schedule data packet delivery based on factors like network performance and application priority. These devices can also adjust network or routing policies based on latency information obtained from various network components and devices.
- Monitoring and characterizing data flows within communication networks
- Using the time-to-buffer (TTB) parameter to manage data packet delivery

Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are described herein for managing information transmitted between and/or within communication networks. Aspects discussed herein relate to monitoring and characterizing data flows with network and/or latency parameters, such as a time-to-buffer (TTB) parameter. Latency managers, network components, or other suitable devices operating in a communication network may utilize TTB parameter information as a management mechanism throughout the communication network to negotiate and schedule the delivery of data packets in view of a variety of factors, e.g., network performance, application priority, and the like. Such devices may be further configured to modify network or routing policies based on network performance and latency information obtained from and/or shared by various network components and devices in the communication network.
