Abstract
A method for transmitting data is provided. The method includes receiving, from upstream in the path, a first data packet containing at least data and an associated first transmission protocol header; disabling the association between the first transmission protocol header and the data; associating a second transmission protocol header with the data, the second transmission protocol header being independent from the first transmission protocol header; and sending, downstream in the path, a second data packet containing at least the data and the associated second transmission protocol header. The first protocol is preferably different from the second protocol.
