  • Patent number: 11902171
    Abstract: A communication system and an operation method thereof are provided. The transmitting device transmits the current data unit and the transmitted data verification information to the receiving device through the communication interface, and records the current data unit in an FIFO buffer. The receiving device counts the received data identification value by itself based on the current data unit received from the communication interface. The receiving device uses the received data identification value and the transmitted data verification information to check whether the current data unit received from the communication interface has errors. When the current data unit is in error, the receiving device returns an error flag to the transmitting device so that the transmitting device suspends the transmission of the new data unit, and transmits the buffered data unit recorded in the FIFO buffer to the receiving device through the communication interface.

  • Patent number: 11888754
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for transmitting electronic messages subject to multiple rate limits. In some embodiments, a send-side rate limiter employs a sliding log or other rate limiting technique to determine whether requests to transmit messages comply with rate limits associated with those messages. When the transmission of a message does not comply with associated rate limits, a negative acknowledgment message is sent to a queuing system, causing the message to be reinserted into a queue for later transmission. In addition, delivery rate limits are established for each queue in the queuing system to throttle the delivery of messages to a send service that makes requests to transmit messages to the send-side rate limiter.

  • Patent number: 11805066
    Abstract: A scheduler in a network device serves ports with data units from a plurality of queues. The scheduler implements a scheduling algorithm that is normally constrained to releasing data to a port no more frequently than at a default maximum service rate. However, when data units smaller than a certain size are at the heads of one or more data unit queues assigned to a port, the scheduler may temporarily increase the maximum service rate of that port. The increased service rate permits fuller realization of a port's maximum bandwidth when handling smaller data units. In some embodiments, increasing the service rate involves dequeuing more than one small data unit at a time, with the extra data units temporarily stored in a port FIFO. The scheduler adds a pseudo-port to its scheduling sequence to schedule release of data from the port FIFO, with otherwise minimal impact on the scheduling logic.
