Abstract
Network devices, systems, and methods are provided involving item routing management. One embodiment includes a computing device item routing management having a number of queues and a logic component. The number of queues can hold a number of items to be routed, via a routing path within the computing device, at least one of the items having time information associated therewith. The logic component can review at least one of the number of items held within the queue based upon the time information to determine whether to discard the item.
Claims25
A computing device item routing management, comprising:
- a number of queues to hold a number of items to be routed, via a routing path within the computing device, at least one of the items having time information associated therewith;
- and
- a logic component to:
- review at least one of the number of items held within the queue based upon the time information to determine whether to discard the item.
A computing system, comprising:
- a number of routing paths for routing a number of items, each item having time information associated therewith;
- a number of queues associated with the number of routing paths for holding the number of items;
- and
- means for reviewing at least one of the number of items to determine whether to discard the item based upon the time information associated therewith.
A method for managing items on a computing device, comprising:
- holding a number of items in a number of queues, each item having time information associated therewith;
- and
- reviewing at least one of the number of items to determine whether to discard the item based upon the time information associated therewith.
A computer readable medium having a set of instructions to cause a device to perform a method, comprising:
- holding a number of items in a number of queues, each item having time information associated therewith;
- and
- reviewing at least one of the number of items to determine whether to discard the item based upon the time information associated therewith.
