Best-Effort Network Layer Packet Reordering in Support of Multipath Overlay Packet Dispersion

Packet reordering analysis for concurrent multipath transfer

“…For the case of d M d 1 D 0.50, the probability of packet reordering becomes saturated when the transmission time interval is larger than 0.08. When d M 1 i C1,i 6 d 1 and d M i C1,i > d M 1 , that is, 0.08 6 i C1,i 6 0.42, according to Equations (9) and (10), it can be calculated that…”

“…In order to reduce the unnecessary retransmissions caused by the packet disorder, a pre-calculation of the paths aggregation performance should be made with the help of Equation (9). Considering the correlation between paths, a part of the available paths are selected for packets transfer, others for redundant transmission or retransmissions.…”

“…The authors in the paper advocated the modularization of packet reordering as an optional, best‐effort service within the network layer in support of multipath routing overlay networks. And it provided performance and resilience benefits even for devices without multiple network interfaces.…”

In-sequence molecule delivery over an aqueous medium

“…It is caused by varying latency experienced by packets traveling to the destination via different paths or due to the parallel processing nature of intermediate routers. Major approaches to the out-of-order packet delivery problem can be categorized into sender, network, and receiver-oriented approaches [10]. The sender-oriented approach is to have a large sending interval.…”

Multipath Transmission Model and Its Route Selection Policy Considering Packet Re-sequencing Buffers Availability

“…In [11], the authors propose a concept of a concurrent multipath transmission mechanism and discuss how to implement the packet re-sequence function using NFV. In [12], the authors develop a multipath transmission network architecture using Shared Overlay Routing Architecture (SORA), which provides a packet re-sequence function. However, they do not consider the available space needed for a packet re-sequencing buffer, which should be significant because otherwise there will be packet loss and/or the packet re-sequence function will not work perfectly.…”
