Content routing architecture for enhanced internet services

Abstract

The need for an intelligent content-based router to analyze data and process a client's request quickly and efficiently is increasing with the popularity of the Internet. Current content routers examine only the HTTP based URL request and routes the request to the “best” server for processing. These routers fail to examine different types of TCP-based user requests. The content router we developed examines all type of TCP-based requests. The content router is a core router that simply forwards packets to the edge routers for delivery after performing its content based processing. This router can be replicated to achieve higher performance in large networks. Moreover, by adopting a formal design approach, which is subject to mechanical evaluation using the Z-EVES tool, the correctness of the design is ascertained.
