Abstract
A transport protocol receiver for receiving a packet from a network, the packet having a header, payload, and connection context. The receiver includes an analysis engine, coupled to receive the packet from the network and adapted to parse and validate the header, locate the connection context, and generate a classification of the header. The receiver further includes a context processing engine, coupled to the analysis engine, and adapted to evaluate and update the connection context, responsive to the classification; and a data dispatch engine, coupled to the analysis engine and the context processing engine, and adapted to convey the payload to a destination, responsive to the connection context, such that the analysis engine, the context processing engine, and the data dispatch engine operate substantially asynchronously.
