Abstract
One (SC3) of the sockets (SC) is designated to be capable of receiving the data stream received by each socket associated with a selected process, Said socket thereby designated (SC3) further comprises an additional receive list (RXS) listing buffer memories containing the data stream received by all of the sockets involved in a selected process. The buffer memories (SKB) of each socket (SC1, SC2, SC3) simultaneously belong to both receive lists (RX, RXS), and each further comprise an additional “previous” pointer (PPS) indicating the buffer memory which precedes the current buffer memory in the additional receive list (RXS), and an additional “next” pointer (PSS) indicating the buffer memory which follows the current buffer memory in the additional receive list (RXS), which makes it possible to access the data stream received by the set of sockets involved in said process, in the order in which said received data stream arrived.
