Abstract

A system has a node connected to a network, the node generating a separate session message for each of a plurality of users. The node places each of the separate session message in a slot in a single virtual circuit message, and transmits the virtual circuit message onto the network. A server is connected to the network, and the server receives the virtual circuit message, and the server identifies each of the separate session messages. The server then transmits each of the separate session message to a user having a session corresponding to each of the separate session messages.
