An aspect of the present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for routing a bursty data flow comprising a series of one or more data packets over a converged network comprising a plurality of communication networks, the method comprising, for each of the series of data packets in turn: selecting which one of the plurality of communication networks to transmit that data packet over by: (i) obtaining flow statistics indicating a current flow state of the bursty data flow; and (ii) selecting the one of the plurality of communication networks in dependence on said flow statistics; then initiating transmission of the data packet over that one of the plurality of communication networks. Further aspects relate to a data processing system, a computer program, a computer-readable data carrier and a data carrier signal.

A load balancing method and a device. A network device performs hash calculation on a first traffic flow to obtain a first hash value corresponding to the first traffic flow, and determines, based on a first mapping relationship between the first hash value and a first member port in a link aggregation group, that an egress port of the first traffic flow is the first member port. The network device determines a current first bandwidth of the first member port and adjusts the first mapping relationship to a second mapping relationship between the first hash value and a second member port based on the first bandwidth, to forward a subsequently received first traffic flow through the second member port. Therefore, the network device can meet a requirement of a high bandwidth.

A method and an apparatus of establishing dual-connectivity to transmit data are disclosed. A PCell of the UE carries out a mapping function and realizes a PDCP layer, a RLC layer, a MAC layer and a physical layer, and a SCell of the UE carries out quality packet data to data radio bearer mapping and realizes a PDCP layer, a MAC layer and a physical layer, in which a core network transmits data of the UE to the PCell, the PCell maps a QoS Flow of the data of the UE which is quality packet data to a data radio bearer on a mapping layer, performs path split, transmits data of respective paths to the UE through the PCell and SCell of the UE, and the UE regroups the data of the respective paths on the PDCP layer, and transmits the regrouped data to an application layer.

A system may include primary and secondary integrated circuits. The primary integrated circuit may receive a first subset of data packets associated with a first set of sequence numbers. The secondary integrated circuit may receive a second subset of data packets associated with a second set of sequence numbers. The primary integrated circuit is configured to manage the first set of sequence numbers and the second set of sequence numbers on behalf of the secondary integrated circuit and for the system.

Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for efficiently buffering data units within a network device. A traffic manager or other network device component receives Transport Data Units (“TDUs”), which are sub-portions of Protocol Data Units (“PDUs”). Rather than buffer an entire TDU together, the component divides the TDU into multiple Storage Data Units (“SDUs”) that can fit in SDU buffer entries within physical memory banks. A TDU-to-SDU Mapping (“TSM”) memory stores TSM lists that indicate which SDU entries store SDUs for a given TDU. Physical memory banks in which the SDUs are stored may be grouped together into logical SDU banks that are accessed together as if a single bank. The TSM memory may include a number of distinct TSM banks, with each logical SDU bank having a corresponding TSM bank. Techniques for maintaining inter-packet and intra-packet linking data compatible with such buffers are also disclosed.
