Packet loss recovery

摘要

A network device includes a network interface device that receives at least a subset of a plurality of recoverable packets. The plurality of recoverable packets corresponds to a plurality of original packets generated by a source device. A processor having a packet recovery module recreates each of the original packets based on the subset of the recoverable packets received. The subset of recoverable packets excludes recoverable packets lost during transmission to the network interface device. A system includes a first network device that generates original packets and converts the original packets to recoverable packets. A second network device receives at least a subset of the recoverable packets, excluding recoverable packets lost during transmission from the first network device. The second network device includes a packet recovery module that recreates the original packets based on the subset of the recoverable packets received at the second network device.

1. A network device comprising:
a network interface device configured to receive at least a subset of a plurality of recoverable packets, wherein the plurality of recoverable packets correspond to a plurality of original packets generated by a source device; and a processor having a packet recovery module configured to recreate each of the original packets based on the subset of the recoverable packets received, wherein the subset of recoverable packets excludes recoverable packets lost during transmission to the network interface device; wherein the network device is further configured to receive a signal representing a length of at least one polynomial string according to which a plurality of intermediate packets with error correction data are encoded prior to receiving the at least a subset of a plurality of recoverable packets, the intermediate packets being generated from the original packets by the source device.
