A communication node and corresponding method for processing data communication passing through the node between a first data network and a second data network is described. The method includes detecting an event associated with data communication arriving at the node from the first data network, and determining whether the data communication is to be suspended for service at the node based on the detected event. Suspended data communication is processed based on information in the data communication. Return data communication arriving at the node from the second data network in response to the processed data communication from the first data network is detected. The detected return data communication is allowed to pass through the node without processing the detected return data communication.

Platform and method for providing data services in a communication network

A plurality of Buffer Management (BM) modules or chips communicate through each other through an interconnect. The BM modules receive packets from other parts of the network or external circuitry. These incoming packets are stored in an ingress pool. Data packets that a BM module receives from the interconnect are stored in a egress pool. The BM module takes the packets from the ingress pool and sends the packets across the interconnect to one of the other BM modules through the interconnect. A BM module receives the packet from the interconnect and stores it in an egress pool. The BM module takes packets from the egress pool and transmits it to a another part of the network or associated circuitry.
