Abstract
A Traffic Classification (TCLAS) element enhancement for Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughout (L4S) flow classification may be provided. First, a client device may determine that a flow is an L4S flow. Next, the client device may communicate that the flow is L4S using an enhanced TCLAS element. Then an Access Point (AP) may use the enhanced TCLAS element to schedule the flow.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a client device, that a flow is a Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughout (L4S) flow;
- communicating that the flow is L4S using an enhanced Traffic Classification (TCLAS) element;
- and
- using, by an Access Point (AP), the enhanced TCLAS element to schedule the flow.
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage and disposed in an Access Point (AP), wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- receiving an enhanced Traffic Classification (TCLAS) element that indicates that a flow is Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughout (L4S);
- and
- using the enhanced TCLAS element to schedule the flow.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
- determining, by a client device, that a flow is a Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughout (L4S) flow;
- communicating that the flow is L4S using an enhanced Traffic Classification (TCLAS) element;
- and
- using, by an Access Point (AP), the enhanced TCLAS element to schedule the flow.
