The present invention discloses a method for communication among different components, including integrating a Network Forwarding Component (NFC) for forwarding messages and at least one Independent Application Component (IAC) for performing other service processing into one network device; setting at least one cooperation mode in the NFC and each of the at least one IAC; and communicating with each other, by the NFC and the at least one IAC, according to the at least one cooperation mode. The cooperation mode may be any or any combination of a host mode, a mirror mode, a redirection mode and a pass-through mode. According to the present invention, the NFC and the IAC may communicate according to the cooperation mode so as to ensure that the NFC and the IAC can cooperate to provide various service capabilities including message forwarding and other additional service capabilities.

Network apparatus and method for communication between different components

A method includes receiving a request to restore a memory of a client and determining a selected full session from a plurality of full sessions, each full session comprising a respective copy of data received from the memory of the client and a respective backup time stamp. The selected full session includes a most recent full backup having a respective backup time stamp prior to a selected restore time. The method further includes copying the selected full session to a restore session and determining a selected incremental session from a plurality of incremental sessions. Each incremental session includes a respective incremental backup time stamp, and respective changes to the data received from the memory of the client. The method further includes modifying the restore session in a cloud computing environment based on the selected incremental session, and transmitting the modified restore session across a network to the client.
