The invention relates to a method for distributing a network stream from at least one data source to a plurality of processors or processor cores of a computing device. The computing device has a network card which supports the receive side scaling (RSS) function, wherein, when this function is activated, the network card or its device driver generates an RSS indirection table () in which there is stored, for each index, the number of a processor or processor core, which will process an incoming data packet assigned to this index, and subsequently the network card calculates a hash value for each incoming data packet and maps the hash value to an index in precisely this table, wherein the hash value is formed via the combination of source and destination IP addresses and ports and is thus static for the duration of the connection. The method comprises the steps of specifying () at least one processor or processor core of the computing device, selecting () a port of the at least one data source, generating () a data set assigned to the selected port, determining () the processor or processor core assigned to the data set, repeating the steps of selection (), generation () and determination () until a port has been determined for each specified processor or processor core, and sending () data packets via the ports determined for the specified processors or processor cores.

Method for distributing a network stream

A device for separating piece goods to be stored in an automated storage facility is provided. The device includes a conveyor for conveying piece goods from a stock to a support surface of a collecting device, a controller for controlling the conveyor, a sensor, to detect the striking of the support surface by piece goods. The detector has an imager, which produces at least one recording of the underside of the support. A handling device is configured to remove a piece good from the support surface for further transport into the storage facility is coupled to the controller, which is further configured to control the handler according to the information.
