ASSESSING RESPONSE ROUTES IN A NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for assessing routes in a network of connected nodes, wherein a querying node propagates a query through multiple routes of intermediate nodes to a data source node and the data source node returns data to the querying node, and wherein the method at the data source node comprises:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a query instance comprising metadata with route information of a route of intermediate nodes in a network that a query instance has travelled through from a querying node to the data source node;
comparing, by one or more processors, the route information to a route policy; and
responding to, by one or more processors, a query instance that meets the route policy by returning a query response to the query instance via the route of intermediate nodes of the query instance.

Abstract
Method and system are provided for assessing response routes in a network of connected nodes wherein a querying node propagates a query through multiple routes of intermediate nodes to a data source node and the data source node returns data to the querying node. The method at a data source node may include: receiving a query instance including metadata with route information of the route of intermediate nodes in the network that the query instance has travelled through from a querying node to the data source node; comparing the route information to a route policy; and responding to a query instance which meets the route policy by returning the query response via the route of intermediate nodes of the query instance.

13. A system for assessing routes in a network of connected nodes, wherein a querying node propagates a query through multiple routes of intermediate nodes to a data source node, wherein the data source node returns data to the querying node, and wherein the system comprises:
-
a hardware data source node for receiving a query instance including metadata with route information of the route of intermediate nodes in the network that the query instance has traveled through from a querying node to the data source node; and a hardware route evaluator component for comparing the route information to a route policy; wherein the data source node responds to a query instance which meets the route policy by returning the query response via the route of intermediate nodes of the query instance. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product for assessing routes in a network of connected nodes, wherein a querying node propagates a query through multiple routes of intermediate nodes to a data source node, wherein the data source node returns data to the querying node, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving a query instance comprising metadata with route information of a route of intermediate nodes in a network that a query instance has travelled through from a querying node to the data source node; comparing the route information to a route policy; and responding to a query instance that meets the route policy by returning a query response, to the query instance, via the route of intermediate nodes of the query instance. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
