Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, computing devices, switches, network endpoints, and methods to handle probe packets. In at least one embodiment, probe packets are handled in a more time-efficient manner as compared to non-probe packets by identifying probe packets and directing probe packets to particular queues.
Claims20
A computing system comprising one or more processing circuits to:
- determine a packet is a probe packet, wherein the packet comprises a first quality of service (QoS) value;
- and
- in response to determining packet is a probe packet:
- store the first QoS value in memory;
- write a second QoS value to the packet;
- direct the packet to a first queue associated with the second QoS value;
- and
- store a characteristic of a second queue associated with the first QoS value in the packet.

- and
- in response to determining packet is a probe packet:
- store the first QoS value in memory;
- write a second QoS value to the packet;
- direct the packet to a first queue associated with the second QoS value;
- and
- store a characteristic of a second queue associated with the first QoS value in the packet.
