MANAGEMENT OF PACKET TRANSMISSION AND RESPONSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163221 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 handle dropped packets in a flow.

  • The router includes an interface and circuitry coupled to the interface.
  • The circuitry is designed to detect a drop of a packet in a flow, drop subsequently received packets of the flow, and forward received packets and subsequent packets of the flow upon receipt of a packet associated with the dropped packet.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in network routers to improve packet handling and flow control.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient handling of dropped packets in a network flow. 2. Improved network performance and reliability.

Benefits

1. Enhanced network efficiency. 2. Better flow control and packet management.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing network routers for improved performance and reliability.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to packet handling and flow control in network devices, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the circuitry differentiate between dropped packets and regular packet loss in the network?

The abstract does not provide details on how the circuitry distinguishes between intentional drops and regular network congestion.

What impact does this technology have on overall network latency and throughput?

The abstract does not discuss the potential effects of this innovation on network latency and throughput.


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.
