  • a message redirector interposed between nodes that intercepts and processes messages such that selected messages intended for other nodes on the network are marked with connection tags and are redirected to a traffic processor, where a connection corresponding with each connection tag is established for further communications between the node and traffic processor; and

    a traffic processor linked to the message redirector, the traffic processor decoding received messages to identify connection tags and directing the message to the connection corresponding with the connection tag, thereby bypassing at least one network processing layer in the traffic processor.
