Routing of messages

摘要

A method to provide transfer of data without the use of a network from an application program to an embedded device. A routing service establishes a communication channel without the use of a local area network. The routing service then manages the control of this communication channel for the transfer of data and closes the channel in an appropriate period.

1. A computational platform comprising:
an embedded device operable to receive a message from an application program; an operating system including an operating system network stack, the operating system operable to provide the message for routing to the embedded device; a routing service bound to the operating network stack though a particular destination port; a network LAN controller communicatively coupled to the operating system network stack; wherein the operating system network stack is operable to receive the message from the operating system and to route the message to the embedded device based on a destination IP address and an indication of the particular destination port being induced in the message, and otherwise routing the message to the network LAN controller.
