  • Weighted data packet communication system
    Patent number: 8811407
    Abstract: A system for weighted communication of data packets via a data communication network. Data packets from sending devices are selectively transmitted in the upstream direction to recipient devices through the application of weights, or weight factors, which determine the number of data packets from each sending device transmitted upstream relative to the number of data packets from other sending devices during a round robin cycle of such devices. Data packets for delivery to receiving devices are selectively transmitted in the downstream direction to the receiving devices using the application of weights, or weight factors, which determine the number of data packets for each receiving device transmitted downstream relative to the number of data packets for other receiving devices during a round robin cycle of such devices. Weights may be associated with the service tier subscribed to with a communication service provider by an owner/user of a sending and receiving device.
