1. A method by a network device for gathering and routing responses to a message bundle, comprising:
- receiving from a plurality of servers responses to a plurality of sub-messages in the message bundle, each of the responses to the plurality of sub-messages includes at least one of a message bundle identifier, a current sub-message identifier and a last sub-message identifier, said identifiers added by each of the plurality of servers;
determining whether all the responses to the plurality of sub-messages in the message bundle have been received;
organizing the responses into a final response based on at least one of the message bundle identifier, the current sub-message identifier and the last sub-message identifier; and
forwarding the final response to a client.

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.

2. A method by a network device for routing responses to a message bundle, comprising:
-
intercepting a first request from a first server to a client to establish a first network session; establishing the first network session with the first server on behalf of the client; receiving from the first server a first response to a first sub-message in the message bundle, the first response includes at least one of a message bundle identifier, a current sub-message identifier and a last sub-message identifier, said identifiers added by the first server; and terminating the first network session. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4)
