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 latency critical network traffic, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a routing device via a first interface, a plurality of packets from a first source device and a plurality of packets from a second source device;
- determining, by the routing device, that the plurality of packets from the first source device comprise latency-critical packets and that the plurality of packets from the second source device comprise non-critical packets;
- detecting, by the routing device, a potential issue with the received plurality of packets by determining one or more characteristic of the plurality of packets received through the first interface;
- suppressing, by the routing device, transmission of non-critical packets by the second source device via the first interface based on the detected potential issue;
- transmitting, by the routing device, the latency-critical packets to a first client device via a second interface;
- and
- transmitting, by the routing device, the non-critical packets to a second client device via the second interface.
A routing device comprising:
- a first and a second interface;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive a plurality of packets from a first source device via the first interface and a plurality of packets from a second source device via the first interface;
- determine that the plurality of packets from the first source device comprise latency-critical packets and that the plurality of packets from the second source device comprise non-critical packets;
- detect a potential issue with the received plurality of packets by determining one or more characteristics of the plurality of packets received through the first interface;
- suppress transmission of non-critical packets by the second source device via the first interface based on the detected potential issue;
- transmit the latency-critical packets to a first client device via the second interface;
- and
- transmit the non-critical packets to a second client device via the second interface.
The routing device of 179, wherein to detect the potential issue with the received packets the processor is configured to measure a round trip time of packets transmitted to and packet received from the first source device.
