Packet Processing in a Computing Device Using Multiple Tables - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240195747 titled 'Packet Processing in a Computing Device Using Multiple Tables
The abstract describes a patent application where a computing device receives a packet within a flow and uses a region index table to identify a first region of a throughput-value function based on the flow rate. The device then randomly selects an offset value to identify a second region of the function that is lower than the first region by the offset value. The packet is assigned a value based on the function and marked accordingly.
- The computing device receives packets within a flow and determines their values based on a throughput-value function.
- A region index table is used to identify the appropriate region of the function based on the flow rate.
- A random offset value is selected to determine a lower region of the function for assigning packet values.
- The packet is marked with the value corresponding to the second region of the function.
Potential Applications: - Network traffic management systems - Quality of Service (QoS) implementations - Bandwidth allocation algorithms
Problems Solved: - Efficient packet value assignment in network flows - Dynamic adjustment of packet values based on flow rates
Benefits: - Improved network performance - Enhanced QoS for different types of traffic - Optimal bandwidth utilization
Commercial Applications: Title: "Dynamic Packet Value Assignment Technology for Network Traffic Management" This technology can be used in: - Internet service providers - Data centers - Network equipment manufacturers
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve network traffic management efficiency? 2. What are the key advantages of dynamically assigning packet values based on flow rates?
Original Abstract Submitted
a computing device () receives a packet comprised in a flow, and uses a region index table () to identify a first region of a throughput-value function, tvf (), based on a flow rate of the flow. the first region is one of a plurality of sequentially ordered regions across an input domain of the tvf (). the computing device () randomly selects one of a plurality of preconfigured offset values to identify a second region of the tvf () that is lower than the first region of the tvf () by the randomly selected offset value. the computing device () determines a packet value using a tvf table () that maps each of the regions to a respective one of a plurality of packet values. the packet value is mapped to the second region. the computing device () marks the packet with the packet value mapped to the second region.
