Abstract
Systems and methods that provide receiver-aided set-up request routing are provided. In one embodiment, an incoming packet is received and parsed. A probability is determined that a particular software layer is likely to be a software layer to which the incoming packet is to be connected as a function of information from at least a portion of the parsed packet. The software layer with the highest determined probability is selected.
Claims23
A method for setting up a connection to a software layer, comprising:
- receiving an incoming packet;
- parsing the received packet;
- determining a probability that a particular software layer is likely to be a software layer to which the incoming packet is to be connected as a function of information from at least a portion of the parsed packet;
- and
- selecting the software layer with the highest determined probability.
A system for setting up a connection to a software layer, comprising:
- means for receiving an incoming packet;
- means for parsing the received packet;
- means for determining a probability that a particular software layer is likely to be a software layer to which the incoming packet is to be connected as a function of information from at least a portion of the parsed packet;
- and
- means for selecting the software layer with the highest determined probability.
A system for setting up a connection to a requested software layer, comprising:
- a heuristic module;
- a hardware module coupled to the heuristic module;
- and
- a software module coupled to the hardware module and including a plurality of software layers,
- wherein the hardware module receives and parses an incoming data packet,
- wherein the heuristic module accesses the parsed data packet and determines a most likely requested software layer, and
- wherein the hardware module tests the most likely requested software layer.
