Devices, software, and methods quantify a burstiness quality of the packet loss in the node of a path. The quantified burstiness becomes a metric for determining the Quality of Service (QoS) offered by a node in retransmitting data through a network. Network routing and rerouting decisions are made according...http://www.google.com.hk/patents/US7808912?utm_source=gb-gplus-share專利 US7808912 - Devices, softwares and methods for incorporating burstiness of packet loss metric in QoS based network routing
