Abstract
An example system and method for multicast flow reordering in a network is provided and includes receiving a data packet at an egress of a node, the data packet associated with a descriptor including at least one parameter; determining the at least one parameter of the descriptor; and processing the data packet for reordering based on the determining of the at least on parameter of the descriptor.
Claims20
A method for multicast data traffic flow reordering, comprising:
- receiving a data packet at an egress of a node, the data packet associated with a descriptor including at least one parameter;
- determining the at least one parameter of the descriptor;
- and
- processing the data packet for reordering based on the determining of the at least on parameter of the descriptor.
An apparatus for multicast data traffic flow reordering, comprising:
- an interface configured to receive network traffic;
- one or more processors, wherein the apparatus is configured for:
- receiving a data packet at an egress of the apparatus, the data packet associated with a descriptor including at least one parameter;
- determining the at least one parameter of the descriptor;
- and
- processing the data packet for reordering based on the determining of the at least on parameter of the descriptor.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:
- receive a data packet at an egress of a node, the data packet associated with a descriptor including at least one parameter;
- determine the at least one parameter of the descriptor;
- and
- process the data packet for reordering based on the determining of the at least on parameter of the descriptor.
