Patent number: 10420012Abstract: A system and method for optimizing performance of a network by creating a database of the time that a packet takes to be transmitted from one node to a next adjacent node, and uses that database to calculate a new default Unicast timeout period, wherein if an acknowledgement is not received from a destination node within the default Unicast timeout period, then the packet may be retransmitted in a period of time that is optimized and not dependent on waiting for a standard Unicast timeout period to expire, and wherein a system and method also includes replacing the use of broadcast messages to learn the status of nodes on a network by creating a self-forming and self-correcting dynamic network by compiling a database of all known paths through a network, rating all known paths so that if the best route is blocked, the next best route can be substituted for it to enable a date packet to have the fastest path back to a source.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: PRODATAKEY, INC.Inventor: Joshua Perry
