Abstract:
1. A device for routing messages to a network element, the device comprising: a messaging interface, the messaging interface being extensible such that the messaging interface is adaptable to communicate with a messaging element; a processor in communication with the messaging interface, the processor receiving a message incoming from the messaging interface, the processor operating to translate the message between a format of the messaging element and a common format; and a network transport bus interface coupling the processor to a network transport bus, the network transport bus interface running a daemon to monitor network traffic on the network transport bus, wherein the processor appends a subject address to a header of a message broadcast such that the network element monitors the network transport bus for the subject address, and wherein the processor generates a routing request for the message, the processor receives a routing response from a router via the network transport bus in response to the routing request, the routing response containing a request for additional information, and the processor operates to request the additional information from the messaging element via the messaging interface.
