Abstract
Arrangements and methods for improving data communication in a network are disclosed. The method includes receiving data packets and segregating the data packets into at least original packets and replicated packets. The method also includes prioritizing original packets having service level agreement (SLA) requirements, the prioritizing is performed with respect to at least one of queuing and de-queuing such that SL parameters for the original packets met.
Claims20
A method for improving data communication in a network, comprising:
- receiving data packets;
- segregating said data packets into at least original packets and replicated packets;
- and
- prioritizing said original packets if said original packets have service level agreement (SLA) requirements, said prioritizing is performed with respect to at least one of queuing and de-queuing such that SL parameters for said original packets met.
The method of claim wherein said segregating is performed based on packet header data.
An arrangement for improving data communication in a network, comprising:
- a first port for receiving data packets;
- logic for segregating said data packets into at least original packets and replicated packets;
- and
- logic for prioritizing, said original packets if said original packets have service level agreement (SLA) requirements, said prioritizing is performed with respect to at least one of queuing and de-queuing such that SLA parameters for said original packets met.
A network packet broker for facilitating monitoring of network traffic in a data communication in a network, comprising:
- a first port for receiving data packets;
- logic for segregating said data packets into at least original packets and replicated packets;
- and
- logic for prioritizing said original packets if said original packets have service level agreement (SLA) requirements, said prioritizing is performed with respect to at least one of queuing and de-queuing such that SLA parameters for said original packets met.
