Nvidia patents method to swap lost data packets to speed up video
Nvidia describes a technique for sending data over a network that replaces lost or potentially lost packets before they cause delays. This proactive swap helps keep video and other real-time data flowing smoothly without waiting for a retransmission.
In the filing’s own words
Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, and techniques that improve efficiency and quality of data streaming in time-sensitive network communications. The techniques include but are not limited to proactive replacement of packets in network communications that use forward error correction techniques. Proactive replacement of packets that have been lost or can potentially become lost reduces network latency and increases the number of timely communicated data messages.
