Abstract
A sequence recovery method executed by a node in a time-sensitive network, the method comprising receiving a packet having a sequence number, determining whether the sequence number is within a predetermined range of a reference sequence number, wherein the reference sequence number is a current latest sequence number accepted by the node, and wherein the predetermined range comprises a history range and a future range, wherein the history range has a length equal to a history length and includes the reference sequence number and a predetermined number of consecutive sequence numbers that are immediately earlier than the reference sequence number, and the future range has a length equal to a future length and defines a predetermined number of consecutive sequence numbers that are immediately later than the reference sequence number, wherein the future length is greater than the history length.
