A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11968125B2) discloses a data transmission method involving the determination of a message that needs to be transmitted, including multiple pieces of Quality of Service (QoS) information. These pieces of QoS information are generated based on QoS values set by regional access devices and are located in an extension header of the message. The method includes updating the QoS value of the message based on the device identifier consistency and forwarding the updated message. The patent outlines a systematic approach to managing QoS information in data transmission, enhancing efficiency and reliability in communication networks.

Furthermore, the patent extends to a computing device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program executable by a regional access device. The program enables the device to determine the message's QoS information, update the QoS value based on device identifiers, and forward the message accordingly. The storage medium facilitates the execution of the data transmission method, ensuring seamless handling of QoS information in the communication process. Overall, the patent introduces a structured methodology for managing QoS information in data transmission, catering to the evolving needs of efficient network communication systems.
