Title:
TAGGING FOR DEMULTIPLEXING IN A NETWORK TRAFFIC SERVER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000019661
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention involves a method and apparatus for tagging messages to reduce redundant processing of data at two different, but linked, processing units. A first message processing unit assigns a tag to a message based upon its content, where the message and corresponding tag are passed along for further processing at a second network processing unit. The second processing unit decodes the message to identify the tag and, therefore, the process associated with a particular message. In this way, a stream of related messages are identified by the assigned tag, simplifying the process of directing the messages to the appropriate process at a second processing unit.
