Abstract: A method of transmitting data traffic from a network node comprising the steps of identifying a plurality of data packets as being members of a data session adding a timestamp to the header or data payload of each packet within the session wherein the timestamp is an additional timestamp and transmitting the packets to their destination.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for creating a packet using a digital signal processor. Call set-up information is received. Thereafter, call data is received and a data portion of the packet is created using the call data. One or more headers are created using the call data and the call set-up information. The packet is then created by attaching the one or more headers to the data portion of the packet. In addition, the one or more headers may include a real time transport protocol header, a user datagram protocol header, an Internet protocol header, and a media access control header.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus and system for routing a message to a function instance within a packet operating system by receiving the message and requesting a destination address (label) for the function instance from a local repository. Whenever the destination address (label) is local, the message is sent to the function instance. Whenever the destination address (label) is remote, the message is packaged with the destination address (label) and the packaged message is sent to the function instance. Whenever the destination address (label) is not found, the destination address (label) for the function instance is requested from a remote repository, the message is then packaged with the destination address (label) and the packaged message is sent to the function instance. This method can be implemented using a computer program with various code segments to implement the steps of the method.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for processing packetized data or packets through a communications switch using a Fast Flow-Forwarding (“FFF”) system. FFF provides expedited forwarding of packets based on pattern matching and data manipulation rules that cross protocol layer boundaries. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for processing a packet in which the packet is received and processed using one or more transformation rules whenever the packet satisfies one or more identification rules. Otherwise, the packet is processed using a standard process whenever the packet does not satisfy the one or more identification rules. This method can be implemented using a computer program having a code segment to execute each step of the method.
