  • Patent number: 11706129
    Abstract: A communication system facilities low-latency, high-availability multipath streaming between terminals (e.g., mobile terminals) and a server platform. In an example application, a remote support service operating on the server platform provides remote teleoperation, monitoring, or data processing services to a mobile terminal embodied as a vehicle or robot utilizing a low latency communication link. The low latency link enables a remote operator to receive video or telemetry feeds, and timely monitor and respond to hazards in substantially real-time. The low latency communication link may be achieved even when the data streams are transmitted over public networks incorporating at least one wireless leg, and where individual connections have varying quality of service in terms of delivery latency due to congestion or stochastic packet losses. Assignment of data streams to particular communication channels may be made on an optimization model derived from a machine-learning process or simulation.

  • Patent number: 11689442
    Abstract: A particular fat tree network node stores default routing information indicating that the particular fat tree network node can reach a plurality of parent fat tree network nodes of the particular fat tree network node. The particular fat tree network node obtains, from a first parent fat tree network node of the plurality of parent fat tree network nodes, a negative disaggregation advertisement indicating that the first parent fat tree network node cannot reach a specific destination. The particular fat tree network node determines whether the first parent fat tree network node is the only parent fat tree network node of the plurality of parent fat tree network nodes that cannot reach the specific destination. If so, the particular fat tree network node installs supplemental routing information indicating that every parent fat tree network node except the first parent fat tree network node can reach the specific destination.

  • Patent number: 11652750
    Abstract: Packet-switching operations in a network device are managed based on the detection of excessive-rate traffic flows. A network device receives a data unit, determines the traffic flow to which the data unit belongs, and updates flow tracking information for that flow. The network device utilizes the tracking information to determine when a rate at which the network device is receiving data belonging to the flow exceeds an excessive-rate threshold and is thus an excessive-rate flow. The network device may enable one or more excessive-rate policies on an excessive-rate traffic flow. Such a policy may include any number of features that affect how the device handles data units belonging to the flow, such as excessive-rate notification, differentiated discard, differentiated congestion notification, and reprioritization. Memory and other resource optimizations for such flow tracking and management are also described.
