1. A method of converting application data to transport data in a power line communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving application data from an application in a device through a service access point, wherein application data may be connection-oriented or connectionless;
analyzing a connection type and a connection specification to determine if a connection exists for the application data;
if a connection exists for the application data, mapping the application data into transport data; and
transmitting the transport data across the power line communication system.

Abstract
A method of converting application data to transport data in a power line communication system includes receiving application data from an application in a device through a service access point. The connection type and connection specification for the application data is then analyzed to determine if a connection exists for the application data. If a connection exists for the application data, mapping the application data is mapped into transport data.

6. A method of transmitting data on a network, the method comprising:
-
receiving an incoming data packet from an application on a device at one of a plurality of service access points;
classifying the data packet according to the service access point and at least one rule, causing the packet to be associated with a connection;
routing the packet to the connection; and
transmitting the data. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of classifying data packets in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
analyzing a set of parameters for an incoming packet, wherein the set of parameters analyzed depends upon a type of service access point from which the data packet came;
if the set of parameters in the incoming packet match a predefined set of parameters associated with a connection identifier, applying at least one rule to the packet; and
associating a connection identifier for the predefined set of parameters with the packet. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
