    摘要: A method is disclosed for performing message and transformation adapter functions in a network element on behalf of an application. According to one aspect, the network element determines an application layer message that is collectively contained in payload portions of data packets. The application layer message conforms to an application layer protocol, such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The network element determines the application layer protocol to which the application layer message conforms. Based on the application layer protocol, an adapter is selected from among a plurality of adapters that are accessible to the network element. The application layer message is provided to the selected adapter, which converts the application layer message into a “canonical” message that is not specific to any particular application layer protocol.
