Abstract
Described is a method and arrangement for managing a network which is coupling at least a first component and a remote component. A database is transmitted from the first component to the remote component via the network. The database includes filter data having at least one condition and action data corresponding to the at least one condition. A data packet is transmitted from the first component to the remote component via the network. The data packet includes a plurality of fields and data. The fields of the data packet are filtered at the remote component to determine if the at least one condition is satisfied.
Claims29
A method for managing a network, said network coupling a first component and a second component, the method comprising:
- generating a database, said database including filter data having at least one condition and action data corresponding to said at least one condition;
- transmitting a data packet from said first component to said second component via said network, said data packet including a plurality of fields and data;
- and
- filtering said fields of said data packet at said second component to determine if said at least one condition is satisfied.
A method for managing a network, said network coupling at least a first component and a remote component, the method comprising:
- transmitting a database from said first component to said remote component via said network, said database including filter data having at least one condition and action data corresponding to said at least one condition;
- transmitting a data packet from said first component to said remote component via said network, said data packet including a plurality of fields and data;
- and
- filtering said fields of said data packet at said remote component to determine if said at least one condition is satisfied.
A system for managing a network, said system coupled to said network and comprising:
- a memory device storing a database, said database including filter data which has at least one condition and action data, said action data corresponding to at least one condition;
- a communication device;
- and
- a processor coupled to said memory device and said communication device, said processor transmitting a data packet via said communication device to a remote device which is coupled to said network, said data packet including a plurality of fields and data,
- wherein at least one of said processor and said remote device filters said fields of said data packet to determine if said at least one condition is satisfied and is enabled to execute said action data when said at least one condition is satisfied.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor to manage a network which is coupling at least a first component and a remote component, the method comprising:
- transmitting a database from said first component to said remote component via said network, said database including filter data having at least one condition and action data corresponding to said at least one condition;
- transmitting a data packet from said first component to said remote component via said network, said data packet including a plurality of fields and data;
- and
- filtering said fields of said data packet at said remote component to determine if said at least one condition is satisfied.
