A router, which may be a wireless gateway, for routing messages between communications networks, including a persistent storage, and a transport interface for sending outgoing messages to communications devices associated with a first communications network, and receiving incoming messages from the communications devices, and having a storage for storing pending outgoing and incoming messages for subsequent sending by the interface component, the transport interface being coupled to the persistent storage and having an associated shutdown module f or serializing at least some of the pending messages to the persistent storage during shutdown of the interface component. The router may include a plurality of t he transport interfaces, and a controller coupled to the transport interfaces f or directing at least one of the transport interfaces to retrieve from the persistent storag e for subsequent sending the pending messages serialized thereto by a further one of the transport interfaces during shutdown thereof. |
