Methods, systems, and apparatus for processing messaging data sets using structured data sets

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, the code comprising code executable to:

• dynamically load a first conversion module and a second conversion module;
• generate at the first conversion module a first structured data set based on a first messaging data set, the first messaging data set conforming to a first messaging format and including a data portion having a first value, the first structured data set conforming to a structured format and including a data element having the first value;
• generate at the second conversion module a second structured data set based on a second messaging data set, the second messaging data set conforming to a second messaging format different from the first messaging format and including a data portion having a second value, the second structured data set conforming to the structured format and including a data element having the second value;
• receive the first structured data set from the first conversion module;
• store a third value at the data element of the first structured data set;
• receive the second structured data set from the second conversion module;
• store a fourth value at the data element of the second structured data set;
• and
• generate a third messaging data set based on the second structured data set, wherein the third messaging data set conforms to the second messaging format, wherein a first message of the third messaging data set is utilized to initiate a communication session and wherein a session key that is received via the communication session is stored to an element of the second structured data set and utilized by the remaining messages of the third messaging data set during the communication session.

A network traffic tool system, comprising:

• a processing engine to store a first value at a data element of a first structured data set in response to a first instruction and a second value at a data element of a second structured data set in response to a second instruction, the first structured data set conforming to a structured format, the second structured data set conforming to the structured format;
• a first conversion module to generate a first messaging data set based on the first structured data set, the first messaging data set conforming to a first messaging format and including a data portion having the first value;
• a second conversion module to generate a second messaging data set based on the second structured data set, the second messaging data set conforming to a second messaging format and including a data portion having the second value, wherein a first message of the second messaging data set is utilized to initiate a communication session and wherein a session key that is received via the communication session is stored to an element of the structured data set and utilized by the remaining messages of the second messaging data set during the communication session;
• and
• a plug-in interface in communication with the processing engine to bind the first conversion module and the second conversion module to the processing engine.
