In this article, a system and method for improving the efficiency of packet-based networks by using aggregate packets is described, which can reduce the transmission time when there are multiple packets being sent to common destinations because the interpacket time may be reduced.Abstract:
A system and method for improving the efficiency of a packet-based network by using aggregate packets are described. One example method involves determining which network devices support aggregate packets. If a first packet is received on a route that supports aggregate packets, it is then held for a short period. During this short period, if an additional packet is received that shares at least one common route element that also supports aggregate packets with the first packet, the first packet and the additional packet are combined into a single larger aggregate packet. This can reduce the transmission time when there are multiple packets being sent to common destinations because the inter-packet time may be reduced. Additionally, in some networks, this technique allows the bandwidth of a common medium to be more fully used because more of the packets will be closer to the maximum size allowed.read more

Methods and apparatus to route control packets based on address partitioning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a protocol to route control packets based on address partitioning. But the protocol requires the packet to be sent from the server to the router based on an interface that received the packet from the processor.

Method and apparatus for increased quality of voice transmission over the internet
Wyatt Williams,Joel Libove +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to use extra packets of specially computed data along with the data representing speech at the receiving server to reconstruct any missing or late data packets, which significantly reduces latency with only a fraction of the added network bandwidth required with prior art methods that use full sets of redundant data.

Transparent intelligent network for data and voice
TL;DR: In this article, a transparent intelligent communication network has both terrestrial and satellite links between nodes and providing improved accuracy and speed in transmission by distinguishing between data requiring rapid receipt at the receiving node and other data, and dispatching data accordingly, while transmitting system protocol and error-correcting information (e.g., retransmissions) over terrestrial links.

TL;DR: In this paper, the header removal field is used to provide header structure information to those routers which will be utilized for transport of the subsequent labeled flow, and a dual-value threshold density methodology is applied at routers to determine whether packet transport density is great enough to warrant a dedicated label, a shared label applied to merged packet flows, or no label at all.
