NETWORK DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SERVICE PROCESS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H04L12/851 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: following is provided: selecting at least one service, according to the execution policy, deployed on the network device, M data processing modules for processing the packet received by the network device, and determining the processing sequence for the selected M data processing modules to process the packet; and calling the selected M data processing modules to sequentially process the packet, according to the processing sequence, so as to obtain the result for processing by M package processing modules. The execution sequence for the data processing module to process the packet is dynamically generated according to the policy set corresponding to the service, and additionally, each data processing module is sequentially called according to the sequence to process the packet, so that the packet does not need to be processed by each data processing module.

EFFECT: optimisation of the data flow processing, reducing the unnecessary processing and collecting redundant information in the service execution procedure, improving the service processing flexibility and increasing the overall performance of the device.
