- generating a message bundle comprising a plurality of sub-messages;
transmitting the message bundle to a first server responsible for processing a first of the plurality of sub-messages;
processing the first of the plurality of sub-messages;
deleting the first of the plurality of sub-messages to generate a modified message bundle comprising at least one sub-message; and

Abstract
Network bundles may be processed in a distributed network having a decentralized serving structure. The message bundles may be modified to include a client address. Additionally, each message bundle comprises a plurality of sub-messages, and each sub-message may contain either a link to the output of another sub-message, or a network address. A network device may be implemented to gather responses to the sub-messages from various servers and to organize the responses into a final response to send to the client.
