A computer-based method and system for distributing information from a source to a service that is to process the information. The distribution system provides a node hierarchy of distribution nodes and service nodes. The node hierarchy has a root node, which is a distribution node that receives information that is to be distributed to a service node. The root node passes the received information to its child nodes, which may be either distribution nodes or service nodes. Each child node may determine whether or not to accept the information for further distribution or for servicing. If a distribution node accepts the passed information, then it passes the information to each of its child nodes. The information is thus passed down the node hierarchy through distribution nodes to service nodes that will accept and process the information. |
