Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing a data packet in a network node includes determining a level of deterioration of a primary path between the network node and the destination node. The determined level of deterioration is based at least on a non-congestion-related loss for a primary link associated with one or more subsequent hops of the data packet from the network node toward the destination node along the primary path. Based on the determined level of deterioration of the primary path being above a threshold, the primary path is changed to an alternate path from the network node to the destination node. The data packet is forwarded to a next network node on the alternate path.

Abstract: An efficient structure and methodology are provided for communicating in a network using a contract implemented in a packet or frame. In various embodiments, a user can generate a contract clause having a constraint for communicating in the network, and determine a communication layer at which to process the constraint during communication in the network. The user device can insert the contract clause in a position in a packet corresponding to the communication layer and can transmit the packet from the user device. In various embodiments, a network node that receives a packet can identify a contract clause in a packet and can process a constraint from the contract clause. The network node can track performance of the constraint and provide accountability in response to the tracking of the performance with respect to terms associated with the constraint in the contract clause.
