Abstract

This document outlines a new and novel concept for an internet infrastructure component system that allows companies to dynamically translate and switch content on the fly by creating a control channel which “rides” on top of existing protocols used in the internet and other communications systems today.

Claims

1. A method of selecting an optimal routing path for internet data comprising the steps of:

generating a request at a client;

analyzing said request in accordance with at least one rule set; and

routing said request to a server for fulfillment of said request based on the results of said analysis.
