Platform and method for providing data services in a communication network
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for processing data communication passing through a node between a first data network and a second data network, the method comprising:
- detecting an event associated with data communication arriving at the node from the first data network;
determining whether the data communication is to be suspended for service at the node based on the detected event;
processing suspended data communication based on information in the data communication; and
detecting return data communication arriving at the node from the second data network in response to the processed data communication from the first data network, and allowing the detected return data communication to pass through the node without processing the detected return data communication.

Abstract
A communication node and corresponding method for processing data communication passing through the node between a first data network and a second data network is described. The method includes detecting an event associated with data communication arriving at the node from the first data network, and determining whether the data communication is to be suspended for service at the node based on the detected event. Suspended data communication is processed based on information in the data communication. Return data communication arriving at the node from the second data network in response to the processed data communication from the first data network is detected. The detected return data communication is allowed to pass through the node without processing the detected return data communication.

34. A communication node for processing data communication passing through the node between a first data network and a second data network, the node comprising:
-
a packet inspection engine including circuitry to detect an event associated with data communication arriving at the node from the first data network, and determine whether the data communication is to be suspended for service at the node based on the detected event; and a content filtering engine including circuitry to process suspended data communication based on information in the data communication; wherein the packet inspection engine is configured to detect return data communication arriving at the node from the second data network in response to the processed data communication from the first data network, and allow the detected return data communication to pass through the node without processing the detected return data communication in the content filtering engine. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)
