Patent ID: 10673816

Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and system where a processor(s) in a distributed computing environment intercepts a communication (of sequential elements) between a first computing node and a second computing node. The processor(s) determines if the communication is undesired by evaluating data related to or comprising each element individually. The evaluating includes the processor(s) obtaining a first element (an earliest element in the sequence that has not been evaluated), determining, if the data related to or comprising the earliest element indicate that the communication is undesired, forwarding the earliest element to the second computing node, before obtaining a second element in the sequence (an element subsequent and adjacent to the earliest element in the sequence), and based on determining that the data related to or comprising the earliest element indicate that the communication is undesired, invalidating, an available element of the sequential elements such that the second computing node does not receive the communication in a usable format.
