Abstract:

A system for disseminating data includes a gateway server, a processing module coupled to the gateway server requests data on a subject to be sent to a subscriber application, and a communications module for receiving a message from upstream network gateway servers, subscribing downstream gateway servers to receive the message, and broadcasting the message to the downstream gateway servers. The new system and methods provide a common mechanism for consolidating and disseminating data to all downstream applications. This enables the use of one message format for like events from different hosts and provides a consolidated mechanism for data and information exchange.
