Abstract
A system and method for personalizing a generic state machine (GSM) logic structure in order to effectuate individual protocol layer functionality of a high speed link protocol stack at a network node (i.e., an application node) having a plurality of connections. An input event structure including at least a service access point (SAP) and a connection identifier (CID) associated with a select service provider layer is provided to a context switch and control block that is operable to retrieve latest state-specific context information based on the SAP and CID. The GSM logic structure is personalized based on the context information to effectuate appropriate service provider layer functionality. The input event is processed by the personalized GSM logic structure to generate next-state information and an output event vector including SAP/CID data for specifying appropriate destinations (i.e., one or more service user layers).
