Abstract
Multiple listening sockets are supported on a single local address port through use of a duplication flag. Each of the listening sockets has a logical queue. Upon creation of a listening socket, the socket is classified and assigned an identifier. As data packets are received, a manager is provided to map the data packets to one of the listening sockets based upon the assigned classification. Receipt of the data packet by an appropriately classified socket, results in the data packet being placed on the logical queue of the assigned listening socket.
