A network apparatus is provided that may include one or more security accelerators. The network apparatus also includes a plurality of network units cascaded together. According to one embodiment, the plurality of network units comprise a plurality of content based message directors, each to route or direct received messages to one of a plurality of application servers based upon the application data in the message. According to another embodiment, the plurality of network units comprise a plurality of validation accelerators, each validation accelerator to validate at least a portion of a message before outputting the message.

Scalable network apparatus for content based switching or validation acceleration

An apparatus, such as a transforming switch, is provided that includes a transformer to transform a message from a first format to a second format, and a switch to switch the message to a selected server or processing node. The apparatus may also include a security accelerator to decrypt and encrypt messages and a validation accelerator to pre-validate the received messages.

System for validating message before transforming the message into another format and switching it to selected server

A network apparatus is provided between a network and a plurality of processing nodes or application servers. The network apparatus includes a validation accelerator to validate (or pre-validate) a document based on validation instructions provided in the document. After the document is validated, the validation instructions are removed or stripped from the document, and the document is then sent to a processing node or application server for processing.
