Abstract

See full text

A originating computing system sends an electronic message to a destination computing system via a routing path that includes one or more intermediary message processing computing systems. The originating computing system includes information in the electronic message that designates constraints related to resources or time use to delivery the message. For example, the constraints may include the number of hops, the amount of raw time, or the amount of processor time needed to delivery the message. If along the routing path, any of the intermediary computing systems detects that any of the constraints have been exceeded, then delivery of the electronic message may be abandoned. Any of the intermediary message processing computing systems may also specify constraints related to the resources or time used to delivery the electronic message.
