Abstract
According to one embodiment, a first computing device receives first information that has been formed according to application software instructions. Independent of the application software instructions, the first computing device forms second information for causing a second computing device to perform an operation. In response to receiving the first information, the first computing device executes protocol stack instructions to form a packet including at least the first and second information. The first computing device outputs the packet to the second computing device.
