Title:
METHOD FOR FORWARDING DATA PACKETS IN A NETWORK AND PROGRAMMABLE INGRESS AND EGRESS NODES THEREFORE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/119620
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The method for forwarding a data packet in a network generally has the steps of: forming at least two transit data packets including replicating at least payload data, sequence data and destination data of the data packet; and forwarding the at least two transit data packets along different network paths. The different network paths can lead to an egress node based on the destination data. At the egress node, the received data packets can be compared to stored data to determine whether the transit data packets having the same sequence data have both been received. The received data packets can then be transmitted to the data destination only when it is determined that they are the first one of the pair of transit data packets to be received.
