Abstract:
1. A method for any-to-any transmission of data blocks in a data processing system, comprising: receiving, at the data processing system, a plurality of data blocks associated with an incoming data stream; assigning the data blocks to a plurality of input links using a load balancing technique to balance a quantity of the data blocks assigned to each of the plurality of input links; sending the data blocks to a plurality of processing paths via the plurality of input links; independently processing the data blocks by the plurality of processing paths; outputting the processed data blocks from the plurality of processing paths in an order different from an order in which the data blocks were received; restoring the order of the processed data blocks to the order in which the data blocks were received at the data processing system; and transmitting the ordered data blocks on an outgoing data stream.
