ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method to distribute applications and services throughout a network, including switch functionality and the ability to apply applications and services to received data according to subscriber profiles. Network Processor Modules (NPMs) receive and recognize data flows from subscribers, extract profile information for the subscribers, and utilize flow scheduling techniques to forward the data to Flow Processor Modules (FPMs). The FPMs utilize resident applications to process data received from the NPMs. A Control Processor Module facilitates applications processing and maintains connections to the NPMs, FPMs, local and remote storage devices, and a Management Server (MS) module that can monitor the health and maintenance of the various modules. The MS can download and otherwise control applications on the FPMs to provide an open architecture for downloading, executing, modifying, and otherwise managing applications.
