Abstract
A method and system for extracting useful statistics and information and removing a processing module based on the information to enhance a run-time system on a network interface card is disclosed. The run-time system module feeds information derived from a network packet to processing modules which process the information and generate output such as condensed statistics about the packets traveling through the network. The run-time system can be enhanced to included facilities for removing processing modules without replacing the run-time system module.
