Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for dynamically mapping between sets of entities. In one implementation, queues corresponding to a particular output are mapped into a sequential set of renamed queue identifiers. In transmitting an item, a particular renamed queue identifier is selected, and then the particular item is communicated from the actual queue to the particular output. In one implementation, groups corresponding to a particular output are mapped into a sequential set of renamed group identifiers, and queues corresponding to a particular renamed group are mapped into a sequential set of renamed queue identifiers. In transmitting an item, a particular renamed group identifier is selected, and then a particular renamed queue identifier from within is selected. In one implementation, a second set of mappings is generated while the system uses a first set of mappings, and then the system switches in real-time to the second set of mappings.
