Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for dynamically selecting timer durations." This invention allows a data communication system to dynamically select timer durations to ensure the delivery of data at a desired bit rate. The system transmits data, such as streaming media, to a destination according to a dynamic bit rate timer, which regulates the transmission frequency and/or the packet size of the data being transmitted. The timer adapts according to the relative positioning of data pointers in a buffer, effectively changing the rate of data delivery to maintain the desired average bit rate despite network capacity fluctuations.
Another significant patent is the "Load-sharing technique for distributing multi-protocol label switching protocol encapsulated flows across multiple physical links." This invention addresses the encapsulation of Internet Protocol (IP) packets or Layer-2 MAC Protocol packets in a MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet. It assigns labels to identify the routers in the MPLS network, allowing for the inference of the underlying protocol. The technique enables effective load sharing of traffic received from a higher-speed source link across multiple lower-speed links while preserving packet ordering.
