Abstract
A method for processing a chain of packets involving obtaining the chain of packets from a network, obtaining destination information from a first packet in the chain of packets, determining whether destination information of the first packet matches destination information of a second packet in the chain of packets, aggregating the first packet and the second packet to obtain an aggregated chain of packets, if destination information of the second packet matches the destination information of the first packet, hashing destination information to obtain a hash value, and forwarding the aggregated chain of packets to at least one client using the hash value.
