A Dynamic Packet Management in a Protocol Processor

This paper studies a networking packet management for a protocol processor in a network terminal. The network terminal is to handle high-speed data streams, more than 10 Gb/s. We developed an algorithm, which distributes the packet losses evenly among the different applications. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the packet loss ratio more than 15% compared to conventional dynamic algorithm.
