  • Patent number: 8885653
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for protocol translation. One system includes a number of servers configured for protocol translation including logic to receive a number of network packets associated with a particular transaction from a source delivery server. The logic interrogates the number of network packets received to synchronously determine a data format and a protocol of the received network packets and apply a number of rules-based protocols. The rules-based protocols reformat the data format and the protocol of the received network packets according to a data format and a protocol of a destination server, relay the reformatted network packets to the destination server, and provide a response to the source delivery server to permit maintenance of a system state.
