Systems and methods for equalizing retransmission delays for data retransmission over bonded modems

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems for incorporating bonding processors while avoiding bonding processor buffer overflow by initiating retransmission requests on all data lines whenever corrupted data is encountered on one data line. Initiating these “extra” retransmission requests equalizes retransmissions delays over all transmission lines, preventing the bonding processor from receiving excess data that cannot be reassembled until the retransmission request is processed.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a bonding processor; a first reception modem coupled to the bonding processor, wherein the first reception modem is in communication with a first transmission modem; a second reception modem coupled to the bonding processor, wherein the second reception modem is in communication with a second transmission modem; and a retransmission equalization module (REM) coupled to the second reception modem, wherein the REM is configured to:
detect a transmission error in data received from the first reception modem,initiate a first retransmission of data from the first transmission modem responsive to detecting the transmission error in the data received from the first reception modem, andinitiate a second retransmission of data from the second transmission modem responsive to detecting the transmission error in the data received from the first reception modem.
