Benefits of technology

[0020]In various exemplary embodiments, a communication system that reduces bandwidth consumed by headers of data packets may comprise a transmitter having a first input port, a first processor, a first output port, and a first storage medium, wherein the first processor is coupled to the first input port, the first output port, and the first storage medium; a receiver having a second input port, a second processor, a second output port, and a second storage medium, wherein the second processor is coupled to the second input port, the second output port, and the second storage medium; a serial link coupling said receiver to said transmitter, whereby signals from said first output port of said transmitter are sent to said second input port of said receiver; wherein said transmitter converts said headers into a compressed format.

Problems solved by technology

Given the significant number of datagrams sent over a given serial link, minor inefficiencies in each datagram can combine to result in significant performance losses.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals refer to like components or steps, there are disclosed broad aspects of various exemplary embodiments.

[0035]FIG. 1 depicts a system 100 for serial transmission of datagrams, the system 100 including a transmitter 110 and a receiver 150.

[0036]In various exemplary embodiments, transmitter 110 comprises a processor 120 coupled to an input port 115, an output port 125, and a storage medium 130. Processor may be a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or any other processor known to those of skill in the art. Computer-readable storage medium 130 may be a hard drive, flash memory drive, Random Access Memory (RAM), or any other storage medium known to those of skill in the art. As described in further detail below, storage medium 130 may temporarily store packets, generated flags, and any other data necessary for transfer of datagrams across serial link 140.

[0037]In operation, datagrams flow into processor 120 through input port 11...

Abstract

A method of reducing overhead for datagrams that are transmitted to or received from a serial link that reduces overhead to no more than four bytes. The datagram includes at least a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) field, a Start-of-PDU Header (SPH) field, and a SPH Control (SCH) field. The SPH and SCH fields consist of two bytes. The datagram may additionally include End-of-PDU Header (EPH) and EPH Control (ECH) fields. A method may also involve substitution of flags for subsequent headers that are identical to previous headers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates generally to serial transmission of datagrams. In particular, it relates to a method for reducing the amount of bandwidth utilized by datagrams.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A typical communications network is structured under the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. The OSI model is an abstract description for computer network protocol design that divides network architecture into seven hierarchical layers: application (L7), presentation (L6), session (L5), transport (L4), network (L3), data-link (L2), and physical (L1). In the physical layer, data are transmitted over a physical link that often uses serial transmission.[0005]Because serial links may only send one datagram at a time, data in a parallel format must first be converted into serial format before the data is sent. To accomplish this goal, data is broken up into a number of smaller portions, often referred to as datagra...
