Application: Data transmission method, device, network system, and storage medium (Patent ID: US20230409506A1)

The patent filed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. describes a data transmission method that involves converting a Non-Posted data transmission mode into a Posted data transmission mode on a PCIe link without the knowledge of the PCIe request end and destination end. This conversion is achieved through pre-reading, reducing delay and improving bandwidth utilization on the PCIe link. The method includes receiving read requests, sending pre-read requests, and locally saving data segments for efficient data transmission.

The patent also details various scenarios and operations related to data transmission, such as determining delays, time intervals, and designated flags in the read requests. It further explains the process of sending pre-read requests, generating Transaction Layer Packets, and providing data segments in a Posted data transmission mode. The patent covers different configurations involving PCIe switching devices, transmission mode conversion devices, and multistage switching devices in a network system to optimize data transmission efficiency. Additionally, the patent includes claims related to the implementation of the method in PCIe switching devices, computer-readable storage mediums, and programmable chips for efficient data transmission on PCIe links.
