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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205143 titled 'MANAGEMENT OF PACKET TRANSMISSION AND RESPONSES

The abstract describes a router with circuitry that, upon receiving a negative acknowledgement (NACK) message, records the endpoint destination of a packet corresponding to the NACK message and drops a second packet transmitted to the same endpoint destination to prevent congestion.

  • Simplified Explanation: The router in this patent application has circuitry that helps manage network congestion by dropping packets based on NACK messages to specific endpoints.
  • Key Features and Innovation:

- Circuitry in the router responds to NACK messages by recording packet destinations and dropping subsequent packets to prevent congestion. - Efficient management of network traffic to avoid bottlenecks and improve overall performance.

  • Potential Applications:

- Network infrastructure management in large-scale systems. - Improving data transmission efficiency in complex networks.

  • Problems Solved:

- Addressing network congestion issues. - Enhancing packet delivery reliability.

  • Benefits:

- Improved network performance. - Reduced chances of packet loss. - Enhanced overall data transmission efficiency.

  • Commercial Applications:

- This technology could be valuable for telecommunications companies, data centers, and cloud service providers to optimize network traffic flow and prevent congestion.

  • Prior Art:

- Further research can be conducted on similar technologies in the field of network traffic management and congestion control.

  • Frequently Updated Research:

- Stay updated on advancements in network routing algorithms and congestion control mechanisms to enhance the efficiency of this technology.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the router determine which packets to drop based on the NACK messages? 2. What are the potential implications of dropping packets preemptively to prevent congestion in a network environment?


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 receipt of a negative acknowledgement (nack) message: record an endpoint destination of a packet corresponding to the nack message in a data allocated per-link and drop a second packet transmitted to the endpoint destination corresponding to the nack message to drop the second packet one or more hops before reaching a congested device.
