Abstract
A digital device operatively coupled to a computer network including first and second networked components receives unitary data stream having N fields of data and an associated Nth field label, and distributes the contents of each of the N fields to one of the first and second networked devices in response to the N field labels included in the unitary data stream, where N is a positive integer. A method for operating the digital device is also described.
