55 results about "Explicit Congestion Notification" patented technology

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is an extension to the Internet Protocol and to the Transmission Control Protocol and is defined in RFC 3168 (2001). ECN allows end-to-end notification of network congestion without dropping packets. ECN is an optional feature that may be used between two ECN-enabled endpoints when the underlying network infrastructure also supports it.

Queue protection with selective l4s use

Use of a preferential resource, such as a Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput queue of a device, may be selectively enabled based on past resource-requesting behavior of a sending application. A characteristic, such as an Explicit Congestion Notification bit, of network traffic transmitted by a sending application is detected during a data traffic congestion condition at a receiving network node. If this characteristic indicates a request for processing via a preferential queue, then a prior network traffic transmission profile of the sending application may be identified, based on which it is determined whether the sending application has not, within a threshold time period, previously transmitted prior network traffic that indicated a prior request for the processing via the preferential queue. Accordingly, access to the preferential queue may be granted, or may be made more likely, for data packets of the current network traffic of the sending application.
