(57) ABSTRACT A method for building a network route map is described in which network
operational characteristics are gathered by actively probing multiple network routes, and …

Today's network devices share buffer across queues to avoid drops during transient
congestion and absorb bursts. As the buffer-per-bandwidth-unit in datacenter decreases, the …

In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, special metadata is added to link
monitoring protocol messages exchanged by pairs of adjacent nodes to allow such nodes to …

A packet routing method for directing packets of a session in an IP network causes an
intermediate node to obtain a lead packet of a plurality of packets in a given session. The …

In an example embodiment, a method for selective performance enhancement of traffic
flows, such as a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) flow, on devices where enhancement …

An advanced routing system and protocol (referred to herein as “Route Exchange” or “REX”)
hides familiar IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and replaces traditional routing logic with words and …

An intermediate node obtains a lead packet of a plurality of packets in a session having a
unique session identifier, modifies the lead packet to identify at least the intermediate node …

BACKGROUND In a typical packet data router, packets originating from various Source
locations are received via a plurality of communication interfaces. Each packet contains …
