A digital computer comprising a plurality of message generating nodes interconnected by a routing network. The routing network transfers messages among the message generating elements in accordance with address information identifying a destination message generating element. Each message generating node includes a message data generator and a network interface. The message data generator generates message data items each including an address data portion comprising a destination identifier. The network interface includes a message generator and an address translation table, the table including a plurality of entries identifying, for at least one destination identifier, a translated destination identifier. The message generator, in response to the receipt of a message data item from the message data generator, generates a message for transmission to the routing network. In generating the message, the message generator performs an address translation operation in connection with the address data and the contents of the address translation table to generate updated address data which it uses data in connection with generating address information for the message. |
