TLDR
In this article, a first one of multiple embedded processing elements (12-14) in a computer (10) receives a delivery packet (124) that is formatted in accordance with a delivery protocol and includes (i) an encapsulated payload packet (136), and (ii) delivery packet header (134) including routing information.Abstract:
A first one of multiple embedded processing elements (12-14) in a computer (10) receives a delivery packet (124) that is formatted in accordance with a delivery protocol and includes (i) an encapsulated payload packet (136) that is formatted in accordance with a payload protocol and (ii) a delivery packet header (134) including routing information. In response to a determination that it is not the destination for the delivery packet (124), the first processing element (14) sends the delivery packet (124) from the first processing element (14) to a second one of the processing elements based on the routing information. In response to a determination that it is the destination for the delivery packet (124), the first processing element (14) decapsulates the payload packet (136) from the delivery packet (124) and processes the decapsulated payload packet (136).read more
