Overhead reduction and address protection in communication stack

摘要

Data is transmitted using a layered communication model. In a first layer of the model, a first communication fragment is generated. The first fragment includes a first address reference referring to a first entity. In a second layer of the model, below the first layer, a second communication fragment is generated based on the first communication fragment. The second communication fragment includes a second address reference referring to a second entity which is related to the first entity. The first address reference is at least partially removed from the data to be transmitted. Then the data including the second communication fragment is transmitted.
