Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for application data switching comprises receiving, by one or more processors of a computer, an application data packet received from an application running on the computer; determining, by the one or more processors and from the application data packet, an Ethernet destination of the application data packet; based on the determined Ethernet destination, identifying, by the one or more processors, a destination on a wireless personal area network (WPAN); accessing, by the one or more processors, a payload of the application data packet; creating, by the one or more processors, a WPAN data packet that includes the identified destination on the WPAN and at least a portion of the payload from the application data packet; and transmitting, by the one or more processors, the WPAN data packet to the identified destination on the WPAN via a WPAN interface.
