System and method for forwarding messages to multiple devices or over multiple paths

摘要

A method of sending messages from servers to client devices is provided. The message can be generated with the server application and may include customer information. The message may then be sent to the message router. The message router retrieves a station ID of the client device based on the customer information. A communication type of the client device can be determined based on the station ID and one or more of the plurality of protocol gateways can be selected based on the communication type. The message can be forwarded to the selected one or more of the plurality of protocol gateways where is may be formatted for the selected client device. The formatted message may then be forwarded via the network to the selected client device. A non-acknowledgement message may be received at the message router. The non-acknowledgement message indicates a message indented for a client device failed to reach the client device. A database can be searched with the message router to determine an alternative path to deliver the message. The message may then be delivered to a client device based on the alternative path.
