PROTOCOL TRANSLATION
First Claim
1. A protocol translator system, comprising:
- a number of servers configured for protocol translation including logic to;
receive a number of network packets associated with a particular transaction from a source delivery server; and
interrogate the number of received network packets to synchronously;
determine a data format and a protocol of the received network packets; and
apply a number of defined rules-based protocols to;
reformat the data format and the protocol of the received network packets according to a data format and a protocol of a destination server;
relay the reformatted network packets to the destination server; and
provide a response to the source delivery server to permit maintenance of a system state.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for protocol translation. One system includes a number of servers configured for protocol translation including logic to receive a number of network packets associated with a particular transaction from a source delivery server. The logic interrogates the number of network packets received to synchronously determine a data format and a protocol of the received network packets and apply a number of rules-based protocols. The rules-based protocols reformat the data format and the protocol of the received network packets according to a data format and a protocol of a destination server, relay the reformatted network packets to the destination server, and provide a response to the source delivery server to permit maintenance of a system state.

6. A method for protocol translation, comprising:
-
receiving a number of network packets associated with a particular transaction from a number of source delivery servers; interrogating the number of network packets received; and synchronously applying a number of rules-based protocols based on results of the interrogation, wherein synchronous application includes; reformatting a data format and a protocol of the received network packets so the network packets are acceptable to the number of destination servers; relaying the reformatted network packets to the number of destination servers; providing a number of responses to the number of source delivery servers; and load balancing the number of servers configured for protocol translation. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A protocol translator, comprising:
-
a server configured for protocol translation including a processor in communication with a memory, wherein the memory includes; a number of rules-based protocols that are executable by the processor; and logic configured to; receive a number of network packets from a number of source delivery servers; interrogate the number of network packets received; synchronously apply the number of rules-based protocols; determine what to provide in the network packets so the network packets are acceptable to a number of destination servers; reformat the data format and the protocol of the network packets; relay the reformatted network packets to the number of destination servers; provide a number of responses to the number of source delivery servers; and poll a status of a number of servers configured for protocol translation, a status of the number of the source delivery servers and a status of the number of destination servers in order to load balance the servers configured for protocol translation. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
