Abstract
The method and system for enhanced efficiency in a multisession communication system which utilizes a series of data packets wherein each data packet includes an indication of the identity of a particular session to which that data packet belongs. Each received data packet is examined as that data packet is received to determine a session identity for that packet. An indication of the session identity is thereafter listed within a session queue only in response to an initial occurrence of that session identity. Each data packet for a listed session identity is then stored in a data packet queue in First-In First-Out (FIFO) order which is associated with the listed session identity wherein all packets for a session remain in order, even though the overall order of all packets may be enhanced. In this manner all data packets within a particular session may be efficiently accessed for processing or, alternatively, one or more data packets within each session may be accessed serially for processing in a round-robin fashion.
