Next generation network for providing diverse data types
First Claim
1. An improved method for transporting data packets of multi-cast, real-time stream, and file data over a computer network comprising a plurality of nodes, the improvement comprising the step of defining a homogeneous network protocol and defining distinct qualities of service, respectively, to the multi-cast, the real-time stream, and the file data.

Abstract
A data-processing network based on a new Internet protocol features a modified addressing system, a novel routing method, resolution of congestion problems in the routers, differentiated transport of data, real-time videos and communications, a multicast system to distribute real-time videos, and data transport with quality of services. The network uses homogeneous network protocol to transport multi-cast, real-time stream, and file data over the same network and to provide multiple qualities of service. Multi-packets may be unpacked at any node for predictive and reactive congestion control and dynamic packet routing. Specifically, a network node updating adjacent nodes with its congestion status, so that each node dynamically routes data away from any congested nodes and prioritizes higher quality of service traffic. In routing data, paths not stored in data packets, but instead, paths are dynamically recomputed around congestion or failed nodes and multicast data is routed using bread crumb trail techniques.
