1. A method, comprising:
- routing data in a network between a sending unit and a receiving unit, the sending unit and the receiving unit being linked by the network in a processing system comprising a plurality of other units that receive the data as the data is routed between the sending and the receiving units; and
applying a particular multi-step process to the data, as the data is routed between the sending unit and the receiving unit, by;
for each of the plurality of other units that receive the data as the data is routed between the sending unit and the receiving unit, performing one or more steps of the particular multi-step process in the other unit based on latency times introduced by the other unit as the data is routed.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for routing data between a sending unit and a receiving unit linked by a network in a processing system comprising several units, the method comprising steps of routing data in the network between the sending unit and the receiving unit, and of applying a process to the routed data, the process comprising several steps which are applied to the data by different units in the network receiving the data, to use latency times in data routing.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a transmission network; and a plurality of distributed units linked via the transmission network, wherein the system is configured to route data between a sending unit and a receiving unit via at least some of the plurality of distributed units and to apply a multi-step process to the data as the data is routed between the sending unit and the receiving unit, and wherein each of the at least some of the plurality of distributed units is configured to perform at least one step of the multi-step process on the data received by the distributed unit as the data is routed between the sending and the receiving units based at least in part on latency time introduced by the distributed unit. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 30, 31)

20. A data processing system, comprising:
-
a transmission network; a plurality of distributed units interconnected via the transmission network; and means for routing data between a sending unit and a receiving unit via at least some of the plurality of distributed units and applying a multi-step process to the data as the data is routed between the sending unit and the receiving unit, wherein each of the at least some of the plurality of distributed units has means for executing at least some steps of the multi-step process on the data that the distributed unit receives as the data is routed between the sending unit and the receiving unit, and means for determining steps of the multi-step process to be performed by the means for executing based at least in part on latency times introduced by routing the data between the sending and receiving units. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

32. A device, comprising:
-
a transmission network; and a plurality of distributed units linked via the transmission network and configured to; determine a set of distributed units of the plurality of distributed units through which to route data; determine, for each of the units of the determined set, a number of steps of a particular process to apply to the data as the data is routed through the distributed unit based on a latency time of the distributed unit; and apply the particular process to the data as the data is routed through the determined set of distributed units. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
