  • Resource Efficient Forwarding Of Guaranteed And Non-Guaranteed Data Packets
    Publication number: 20190394134
    Abstract: A node of a data network receives data packets (200). For at least one of the received data packets (200), the node determines whether the data packet (200) is a guaranteed data packet which is subject to a guarantee that the data packet is not dropped and not delayed by more than a certain delay limit or a non-guaranteed data packet which is not subject to the guarantee. Based on a worst case calculation of a delay experienced by a data packet forwarded by the node, the node configures a resource contingent with a maximum amount of resources which is more than a minimum amount of resources required to meet the guarantee. Further, the node assigns resources to the resource contingent and identifies resources in excess of the minimum amount as excess resources. In response to determining that the data packet (200) is anon-guaranteed data packet and determining that sufficient excess resources are present, the node forwards the data packet (200) based on the excess resources.

  • Packet processing technique for a communication network
    Patent number: 10447583
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to packet processing by a network element system that transfers first and second packet flows of the same traffic handling class (e.g., the Ethernet express traffic class). A method aspect performed by the network element system comprises the step of receiving, from a network controller, information defining opening times for packet gates associated with network element ports. The opening times define a relative transmission order among first packet flow packets and second packet flow packets. Upon receipt of first and second packet flow packets at the respective ports, the packet gates are controlled based on the received information to trigger transmission of the first and second packet flow packets in the predefined transmission order.
