Abstract
A device can include one or more processors coupled with memory. The one or more processors can execute an application to monitor end-to-end traffic for a network, the network including one or more devices, receive information that includes (i) time stamps or time period data and (ii) an identification of a low-latency application type for a first packet being transmitted via a path across the network, and transmit a second packet to adjust operations implemented at one or more nodes to control subsequent transmission of the first packet via the path across the network.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a device, comprising:
- one or more processors coupled with a memory, the one or more processors configured to execute an application to:
- monitor end-to-end traffic for a network, the network including one or more devices;
- receive information associated with transmission of a first packet for at least one device of the one or more devices, the information comprising (i) time stamps or time period data and (ii) an identification of a first latency application type for the first packet being transmitted via a path across the network;
- and
- transmit, based at least on the time stamps or the time period data providing an indication of latency with respect to the transmission of the first packet or based at least on the identification of the first latency application type, a second packet to adjust operations implemented at one or more nodes to control subsequent transmission of the first packet via the path across the network.
A device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- monitor end-to-end traffic for a network, the network including one or more devices;
- receive information associated with transmission of a first packet for at least one device of the one or more devices, the information comprising (i) time stamps or time period data and (ii) an identification of a first latency application type for the first packet being transmitted via a path across the network;
- and
- transmit, based at least on the time stamps or the time period data providing an indication of latency with respect to transmission of the first packet or based at least on the identification of the first latency application type, a second packet to adjust operations implemented at one or more nodes to control subsequent transmission of the first packet via the path across the network.
A method, comprising:
- monitoring, by one or more processing circuits, end-to-end traffic for a network, the network including one or more devices;
- receiving, by the one or more processing circuits, information associated with transmission of a first packet for at least one device of the one or more devices, the information comprising (i) time stamps or time period data and (ii) an identification of a first latency application type for the first packet being transmitted via a path across the network;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more processing circuits, based at least on the time stamps or the time period data providing an indication of latency with respect to the transmission of the first packet or based at least on the identification of the first latency application type, a second packet to adjust operations implemented at one or more nodes to control subsequent transmission of the first packet via the path across the network.
