Routing method and system with conditional logging

摘要

The method involves accessing a logging mechanism for temporarily storing messages in a log file(s) and/or a forwarding mechanism providing network-compatible addressing of at least one addressee instance and forwarding of at least one message to it. The logging mechanism is only accessed if forwarding is not possible. The logging mechanism is expanded and coupled to the forwarding mechanism. The log file can be allocated a network address. The method involves accessing a logging mechanism (18) for temporarily storing messages (10) in at least one log file (20) and/or a forwarding mechanism (16) providing network-compatible addressing of at least one addressee instance (24) and carrying out forwarding of at least one message to the addressee instance. The logging mechanism is only accessed if forwarding is not possible. The logging mechanism is expanded and coupled to the forwarding mechanism, the log file is optionally allocated a network-compatible address addressable within the forwarding mechanism. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: a routing system.
