Abstract
A system includes a first agent, a processing agent for processing a protocol, and a second agent. The second agent is connected to the first agent to receive and transmit events, and the processing agent has connections with the first agent, the connections transporting data between the first agent and the second agent and the processing agent transporting events to the first agent when the data being transmitted has been modified. The first agent is configured to monitor the data being transmitted to and received from the processing agent.
Claims35
A system comprising:
- a first agent;
- a second agent connected to the first agent to receive and transmit events and data;
- a processing agent to process a protocol, the processing agent being connected to the first agent,
- the processing agent being configured to send events to the first agent upon a change in the data being transmitted.
A method comprising:
- transporting data between the first network agent and a second network agent through a processing agent, and
- transporting events from a processing agent to the first agent upon a change in the data being transported.
A machine-readable storage medium bearing machine-readable program code capable of causing a machine to:
- store data in a first agent;
- connect the first agent to a second agent to receive and transmit events;
- process a protocol by connecting a processing agent to the first agent, wherein the connections transport data between the first agent and the second agent and the processing agent transports events to the first agent upon a change in the data being transmitted.
A Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) processing system comprising:
- a buffer to store data;
- a first agent coupled to the buffer to receive and transmit events;
- an event system coupled to the first agent to store the events in at least two event queues;
- a first processing agent to process a protocol, the first processing agent having a first and a second connection with the first agent, wherein the first connection transports the data between the first agent and the first processing agent and the second connection transports the events between the first processing agent and the first agent;
- and
- wherein the first agent is configured to monitor the data being transmitted to and received from the processing agent via the first and second connections.
