Abstract
Networking devices, systems, and methods are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving a packet at a networking device; evaluating the packet; based on the evaluation of the packet, truncating the packet from a first size to a second size that is smaller than the first size; and storing the truncated packet in a buffer prior to transmitting the truncated packet with the networking device.
Claims21
A networking device, comprising:
- an interface that receives one or more packets;
- a buffer that temporarily stores the one or more packets prior to being transmitted by the networking device;
- and
- circuitry that evaluates a packet received at the interface and, based on the evaluation of the packet, truncates the packet thereby reducing a size of the packet prior to storing the packet in the buffer.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a networking device that receives one or more packets, wherein the networking device comprises a buffer that temporarily stores the one or more packets prior to being transmitted by the networking device;
- and
- a controller that evaluates a packet received at the networking device and, based on the evaluation of the packet, truncates the packet thereby reducing a size of the packet for storage in the buffer.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a packet at a networking device;
- evaluating the packet;
- based on the evaluation of the packet, truncating the packet from a first size to a second size that is smaller than the first size;
- and
- storing the truncated packet in a buffer prior to transmitting the truncated packet with the networking device.
