Claim One:
1. A method comprising: generating, at a first computing resource of a computer system, a chained packet sequence, wherein each packet in the chained packet sequence specifies (i) a chain indicator to indicate inclusion in the chained packet sequence, (ii) a destination address, and (iii) an opcode that specifies an operation to be performed by a computing resource associated with the destination address; routing, at a router of the computer system, the chained packet sequence to a second computing resource based on the destination address of a first chained packet in the chained packet sequence, the destination address of the first chained packet being associated with the second computing resource; receiving, at the second computing resource of the computer system, the chained packet sequence; performing, at the second computing resource, the operation specified by the opcode of the first chained packet; and determining, at the second computing resource, whether to process at the second computing resource or forward to a third computing resource of the computer system one or more chained packets in a remainder portion of the chained packet sequence based on the destination address of a second chained packet of the chained packet sequence, wherein the second chained packet is located at a beginning of the remainder portion.
