Title: A system and method for distributing packets in a network
Inventor: TIAGO QUEIROZ
IPC: H04L47/56
Filed: 2018-05-11
Abstract: A system and method to distribute packets in a network. For example, a Node A distributes traffic across a plurality of links according to a current set of determined weights WA (S100). A receiver, Node B, analyses the received packets (S102) to determine whether the current set of weights needs to be adjusted (S104). If so, a weight adjustment factor is determined and applied to a current weight for a selected link and at least one other weight in the current set of weights. The adjusted weights are fed back to Node A (S106-S108) and applied (S112) when next transmitting packets to Node B. The transmitting node may insert an aggregation header in a packet to convey the current weight information to the receiving node. Statistical information may be used to make adjustments to the weight value for a link. Such information may include packet losses determined from sequence numbers or latency calculations by using timestamps. The invention may be used to aggregate links, such as links in a radio network, to improve overall capacity and reliability even when no information is available regarding the link capacity and status.
