Abstract
A method of facilitating data transfers through a communication network. The method includes forwarding a first data set received from a first interconnect device to a processor. The first data set has transfer instructions and routing instructions associated therewith. The routing instructions specify a destination for the first data set. The method further includes extracting the transfer instructions at the processor and generating a first routing request for the first data set according to the transfer instructions to transfer the first data set to a second interconnect device. The second interconnect device is capable of routing the first data set to the destination. The first routing request has no association to the routing instructions.
