Method and system for enhanced communication in a multisession packet based communication system

A system for enhanced communication in a multisession packet based communication system wherein said communication system utilizes a series of data packets, each data packet including an indication of the identity of a particular session which includes that data packet, said method comprising the steps of:

• means for examining each data packet as that data packet is received within said series to determine a session identity associated therewith;
• means for enqueing within a session queue each determined session identity only in response to an initial occurrence of each session identity;
• means for enqueing within said session queue each data packet associated with a predetermined session identify;
• a plurality of data packet queues, each data packet queue associated with a particular enqueued session identity;
• and
• means for enqueing within an associated data packet queue each received data packet included within a particular session, other than said predetermined session, wherein selected data packets may be efficiently processed from a data packet queue and said session queue.

A data processing program product for providing enhanced communication in a multisession packet based communication system wherein said communication system utilizes a series of data packets, each data packet including an indication of the identity of a particular session which includes that data packet, said data processing program product embodied within a storage media adapted to be coupled to a data processing system, said data processing program product comprising:

• instruction means for examining each data packet as that data packet is received within said series to determine a session identity associated therewith;
• instruction means for enqueing within a session queue each determined session identity only in response to an initial occurrence of each session identity;
• instruction means for enqueing within said session queue each data packet associated with a predetermined session identity;
• instruction means for providing a data packet queue in association with each enqueued session identity;
• and
• instruction means for enqueing within an associated data packet queue each received data packet included within a particular session, other than said predetermined session, wherein selected data packets may be efficiently processed from a data packet and said session queue.
