NETWORK MANAGEMENT MODULE FOR A VEHICLE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A network management module comprises:
- a network interface module operable for coupling the network management module to a vehicle communication network;
memory; and
a processing module operably coupled to the memory and to the network interface module, wherein the processing module is operable to manage a global vehicle network communication protocol that includes;
instituting a content-based network packet processing protocol;
managing the vehicle communication network to support the network packet processing protocol, wherein the content-based network packet processing protocol includes;
determining content type of a packet;
determining a processing requirement of the packet; and
prioritizing execution of the processing requirement based on the content type.

Abstract
A network management module includes a network interface module, memory, and a processing module. The network interface module is operable for coupling the network management module to a vehicle communication network. The processing module is operable to manage a global vehicle network communication protocol that includes instituting a content-based network packet processing protocol and managing the vehicle communication network to support the network packet processing protocol. The content-based network packet processing protocol includes determining content type of a packet, determining a processing requirement of the packet, and prioritizing execution of the processing requirement based on the content type.
