摘要:
The present disclosure relates to techniques for determining optimal routing paths for computing devices in a network, including selecting an optimal gateway among a number of available gateways. The techniques include gathering data regarding characteristics of a network, including gateways and network access nodes (NANs) in at least one access network. The characteristics can include, e.g., supported frequency bands, communication protocols, signal-to-noise ratio, power, signal noise and quality, slicing information, and whether a network vender is a standalone network vendor or a non-standalone network vendor. In one aspect, the characteristics are obtained using the Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM). The characteristics can be used by devices in determining routing paths based on requirements of individual flows and/or workflows of individual application instances.

One embodiment provides a network device. The network device includes a a processor including at least one processor core; a network interface configured to transmit and receive packets at a line rate; a memory configured to store a scheduler hierarchical data structure; and a scheduler module. The scheduler module is configured to prefetch a next active pipe structure, the next active pipe structure included in the hierarchical data structure, update credits for a current pipe and an associated subport, identify a next active traffic class within the current pipe based, at least in part, on a current pipe data structure, select a next queue associated with the identified next active traffic class, and schedule a next packet from the selected next queue for transmission by the network interface if available traffic shaping token bucket credits and available traffic class credits are greater than or equal to a next packet credits.
