PARTITIONABLE ROUTER TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SYSTEMS

摘要

The disclosed subject matter describes a method, system, apparatus, and storage medium for interfacing multiple communication systems via a partitionable router. The router has at least two partitions, each partition having a subset of the router's resources allocated to it. Software programs are executed within each partition using their respective allocated resources. The resources, and any subset thereof, may be allocated non-exclusively, exclusively, and/or non-linearly to the partitions. The router receives information and determines the format of the information. The router identifies the receiving party and transforms the received information into a format compatible for the receiving party. The router then transmits the converted information to the receiving party, where the transmitting and/or receiving party is one of the software programs.

1. A method for interfacing multiple communication systems, comprising the steps of:
receiving incoming information on a partitionable router from a transmitting party, said partitionable router having resources and at least a first partition and a second partition; said resources divided into at least a first subset of said resources and a second subset of said resources, wherein said first subset of said resources is allotted to said first partition and said second subset of said resources is allotted to said second partition; said first partition having a first software program executed thereon and said second partition having a second software program executed thereon, wherein said first software program uses said first subset of said resources and said second software program uses said second subset of said resources, and wherein said first software program and said second software program are capable of execution simultaneously; identifying a receiving party of said incoming information; determining the format required by said receiving party; creating outgoing information by transforming said incoming information into said format required by said receiving party; and transmitting said outgoing information to said receiving party, wherein at least one of said transmitting party or said receiving party is said first software program or said second software program.
