A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROUTING DATA IN A COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A controller (208) in a communication device (106) receives a request, from a process operating in the communication device (106), to subscribe to a data routing service that is managed by the controller (208). In response to the request, the controller (208) assigns a destination identifier to the process and adds the process and the assigned destination identifier to a routing table that is stored in a memory (212) associated with the controller (208). Data subsequently received from a data source (114) is routed to the process or to one of multiple communication ports (214, 216, 218) by the controller (208) by reference to the destination identifier, or the absence of a destination identifier, stored in the routing table.
