Abstract:
1. A method for packet processing, the method comprising: receiving, at a communications node, a packet comprising machine-to-machine data from a machine-to-machine device, the packet specifying an address of a remote machine-to-machine hardware processor as a destination address of the packet; determining, at the communication node, whether to process the machine-to-machine data locally or remotely according to identification information, wherein determining whether to process the machine-to-machine data locally or remotely comprises deciding to partially process the machine-to-machine data carried in the packet locally to reduce a traffic size associated with the machine-to-machine data; partially processing the machine-to-machine data to obtain modified machine-to-machine data upon deciding to partially process the machine-to-machine data carried in the packet locally, the modified machine-to-machine data including fewer bits than the machine-to-machine data; and routing the modified machine-to-machine data to the remote machine-to-machine hardware processor for further processing.
