Patent abstract

In one embodiment, a system for data handling in a distributed communication network includes one or more data-handling nodes (DHNs) that each reside at one of one or more receptors. Each receptor is operable to receive first data units from one or more remote units. Each DHN is operable to extract second data units from the first data units, add extensions to the second data units for tracking the second data units in the distributed communication network, store the second data units locally at the receptor, generate log files of the second data units for communication to a data monitoring and recovery (DMR) agent at the receptor, and communicate the second data units with the added extensions to a routing system for routing the second data units in the distributed communication network.
