Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MTU SIZE REDUCTION IN A PACKET NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/219950
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that reduce the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size associated with an output port when a jitter sensitive packet flow utilizes the output port. This may reduce the amount of jitter introduced into the jitter sensitive packet flow. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting packets through an output port. The output port has an MTU size set to a first MTU value, and the packets have a size no greater than the first MTU value. The method further includes setting the MTU size to a second smaller MTU value, and transmitting other packets through the output port. The other packets have a size no greater than the second MTU value. The other packets include packets from a jitter sensitive packet flow. The method further includes subsequently setting the MTU size to an MTU value greater than the second MTU value.
