Abstract:
A system for storing transient message packets in a hierarchical message store for use in a distributed computing environment, comprising:a unique filename module generating a unique filename identifying an incoming message packet intercepted entering a bounded network domain; a checksum module calculating an index checksum from the unique filename using a seed value associated with an index level in a hierarchical message store and calculating a storage checksum from the unique filename using a seed value associated with a storage level in the hierarchical message store; and a message receiver storing the incoming message packet in an index node in the index level and a storage node in the storage level and dependent on the index node, each respectively indexed by the index checksum and the storage checksum, wherein the index checksum is calculated according to the equation: Idx=Chksumidx(fn)% Nidx where Chksumidx is a checksum function for the index level, fn is the unique filename and Nidx is a number of nodes in the index level.
