<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved technology for a content-based router capable of easily and efficiently being adapted to a large number of users. <P>SOLUTION: Upon receipt of a data packet at an ingress router 102, the ingress router 102 matches the content of a data packet with stored subscriptions. The content is described by using XML data, and the user subscriptions are defined by XML queries. Upon matching, the router assigns to the data packet a routing label that indicates an egress router corresponding to a subscriber in the matched subscription, and transmits the data packet to a content-based router to which the packet is supposed to be transferred. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
