IC generating packets containing destination, first, and second proxy addresses

摘要

In one form of the invention, a process of sending real-time information from a sender computer (103) to a receiver computer (105) coupled to the sender computer (103) by a packet network (100) wherein packets (111,113) sometimes become lost, includes steps of directing (441) packets (111) containing the real-time information from the sender computer (103) by at least one path (119) in the packet network (100) to the receiver computer (105), and directing packets (113) containing information dependent on the real-time information from the sender computer (103) by at least one path diversity path (117) in the packet network (100) to the same receiver computer (105). Other forms of the invention encompass other processes, improved packets and packet ensembles (111,113), integrated circuits (610), chipsets (DSP 1721, MCU), computer cards (1651), information storage articles (1511,1611), systems, computers (103,105), gateways (191,193), routers (131,133), cellular telephone handsets (181,189), wireless base stations (183,187), appliances (1721,1731,1741), and packet networks (100), and other forms as disclosed and claimed.

主权项

1. A single-chip integrated circuit comprising:
a processor circuit; and a packet network path diversity software stack that includes a process of sending real-time information including:
generating on the integrated circuit first packets containing the real-time information, and containing a first particular address of the destination, and containing a second particular address of a first proxy computer;generating dependent packets containing information dependent on the real-time information, containing the first particular address of the destination, and containing a third particular address of a second proxy computer; andsending the first packets and the dependent packets.
