Abstract: A router including a communication device, a first processor, and a second processor. The communication device is configured to receive a plurality of first packets of a connection and at least one second packet of the connection subsequent to the first packets The first processor, coupled to the communication device, and configured to analyze the first packets to determine at least part of a plurality of transport-layer parameters associated with the connection, receive a traffic control rule associated with the connection, and offload processing of the at least one second packet of the connection to a second processor after the at least part of the transport-layer parameters is determined. The second processor is configured to perform traffic control on the second packet according to the traffic control rule and the at least part of the transport-layer parameters.

Abstract: A router including a communication device, a first controller, a storage device, and a second controller is provided. The communication device receives a plurality of first packets of a connection and at least one second packet of the connection subsequent to the first packets. The first controller analyzes the first packets to determine a plurality of transport-layer parameters associated with the connection. The storage device stores the transport-layer parameters. The second controller performs traffic management on the second packet according to at least part of the transport-layer parameters stored in the storage device.

Abstract: A router including a communication device, a first controller, and a second controller is provided. The communication device receives a plurality of first packets and a plurality of second packets subsequent to the first packets. The second controller processes the first packets to determine at least one of a current connection count, an application type, and a traffic parameter, and determines whether to enable the first controller to process the second packets according to at least one of the current connection count, the application type, and the traffic parameter.
