Method and system for transmitting messages in an interconnection network
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting messages in an interconnection network comprising message initiating elements, message switching elements and message destination elements, the said messages comprising a header and a content comprising data quanta, the said messages being destined for destination elements capable of processing a data quantum of the content of a message independently of the other data quanta of the content of the message wherein:
- the transmission of a first message is started by a switching agent;
the header of the first message is stored;
the transmission of the first message is interrupted upon dynamic control; and
the transmission of a second message is started whose content is the non-transmitted part of the content of the first message.

Abstract
A method for transmitting messages in an interconnection network may include message initiating elements, message switching elements, and message destination elements. The messages may include a header and a content and are destined for processing elements capable of processing a data quantum of the content of a message independently of the other data quanta of the content of the message. The transmission of a first message is started by a switching agent, the header of the first message is stored, the transmission of the first message is interrupted when commanded and then the transmission of a second message is started whose content is the non-transmitted part of the content of the first message.
