Abstract
A data processing system comprises a matching engine for matching messages and a switch for routing data. The data processing system is arranged to receive publish messages comprising topic and source identification, and to receive subscribe messages comprising topic and sink identification. The matching engine is arranged to match one or more sink identifications to a source identification according to a matching topic and the switch is arranged to receive control signals dependent on the result of the matching and accordingly to route data from a source to one or more sinks. The system can include a switch control, the switch control arranged to receive an output of the matching from the matching engine and to transmit the control signals to the switch, the control signals defining the routing to be applied by the switch.
