Abstract
An method for interprocess communication and data exchange within a computer's software operating system executing on a computer network protocol translator having a central processing unit and associated memory, which includes encapsulating the message or data to be exchanged within certain header and footer information which defines the context of the transmission. Certain program routines are executed in conjunction with this context information which enable the software processes within the operating system to exchange data and to acknowledge the receipt of messages without having to generate and transmit return messages or pre-empt the operating system's execution sequence.
