CLEAN-UP OF UN-REASSEMBLED DATA FRAGMENTS

A receiving device storing fragments may detect a total usage of storage space, such as a number of used queue banks (QBs), by un-reassembled fragments and take action when the total usage of storage space reaches a threshold level. For example, additional fragments may be rejected for a period of t...

Zusammenfassung:A receiving device storing fragments may detect a total usage of storage space, such as a number of used queue banks (QBs), by un-reassembled fragments and take action when the total usage of storage space reaches a threshold level. For example, additional fragments may be rejected for a period of time after the threshold level is reached. In another example, the un-reassembled fragments may be cleaned up after the threshold level is reached. In yet another example, the reaching of the threshold level may be logged.
