A parser-translator technology allows a user to specify complex test and / or transformation statements in a high-level user language, to ensure that such test and / or transformation statements are well-formed in accordance with a grammar defining legal statements in the user language, and to translate statements defined by the user into logically and syntactically correct directives for performing the desired data transformations or operations. Using the parser-translator technology, a user can focus on the semantics of the desired operations and need not be concerned with the proper syntax of a language for a particular system. Instead, grammars (i.e., data) define the behavior of a parser-translator implementation by encoding the universe of statements (e.g., legal test and / or transformation statements) and by encoding translations appropriate to a particular data processing application (e.g., a data conversion program, etc.). Some parser-translator implementations described herein interface dynamically with other systems and / or repositories to query for information about objects, systems and states represented therein, and / or their respective interfaces. Some grammars described herein encode sensitivity to an external context. In this way, context-sensitive prompting and validation of correct specification of statements is provided. A combination of parser technology and dynamic querying of external system state allows users to build complex statements (e.g., using natural languages within a user interface environment) and to translate those complex statements into statements or directives appropriate to a particular data processing application.

A n-gram statistical analysis is employed to acquire frequently appearing character strings of n characters or more, and individual character strings having n characters or more are replaced by character translation codes of 1 byte each. The correlation between the original character strings having n characters and the character translation codes is registered in a character translation code table. Assume that a character string of three characters, i.e., a character string of three bytes, "sta," is registered as 1-byte code "e5" and that a character string of four characters, i.e., a character string of four bytes, "tion," is registered as 1-byte code "f1." Then, the word "station," which consists of a character string of seven characters, i.e., seven bytes, is represented by the 2-byte code "e5 f1," so that this contributes to a compression of five bytes.

A network switch routes data transmissions between network stations, each data transmission including network addresses of the source and destination network stations. The network switch includes a set of input / output (I / O) ports each for receiving data transmissions from and transmitting data transmissions to a subset of the network stations. Each I / O port is identified by a "physical" port ID and a "logical" port ID. While each I / O port's physical port ID is unique, all I / O ports that can route data to the same subset of network stations share the same logical port ID. Each I / O port receiving a data transmission from a network station sends its logical port ID and the network addresses included in the data transmission to an address translation system. The address translation system uses data in the translation request to maintain a lookup table relating each subset of network addresses to a logical port ID identifying all I / O ports that communicate with network stations identified by that subset of network address. The address translation system responds to an address translation request by returning the logical port ID of all I / O ports that can send data transmissions to a destination station identified by the destination address included in the data transmission. In response to the returned logical port ID, the network switch establishes a data path for the data transmission from the I / O port receiving the data transmission and any idle I / O port having that logical port ID.
