Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for latency-oriented router. An incoming packet is received on a first interface. The type of the incoming packet is determined. Upon the detection that the incoming packet belongs to latency-critical traffic, the incoming packet is duplicated into one or more copies. Subsequently, the duplicated copies are sent to a second interface in a delayed fashion where the duplicated copies are spread over a time period. The duplicated copies are received and processed at the second interface.

A method of managing packets, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a routing device comprising at least a first interface, a plurality of packets having a plurality of fields, wherein the routing device is communicatively coupled to a plurality of devices;
- identifying, by the routing device, at least a first latency-critical packet and at least one non-critical packet in the plurality of packets based upon one or more packet characteristics;
- generating, by the routing device, at least a first copy-packet of the latency-critical packet, wherein the routing device does not generate copies of the at least one non-critical packet;
- transmitting, by the routing device, the at least first latency-critical packet and the at least first copy-packet to a first target device via the first interface;
- and
- transmitting, by the routing device, the at least one non-critical packet to at least one device of the plurality of the devices.
A routing device comprising:
- at least a first interface configured to receive and transmit a plurality of packets having a plurality of fields, wherein the routing device is communicatively coupled to a plurality of devices;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify at least a first latency-critical packet and at least one non-critical packet in the plurality of packets based upon one or more packet characteristics;
- generate at least a first copy-packet of the latency-critical packet, wherein the routing device does not generate copies of the at least one non-critical packet;
- transmit the at least first latency-critical packet and the at least first copy-packet to a first target device via the first interface;
- and
- transmit the at least one non-critical packet to at least one device of the plurality of devices.
