Methods of transforming a data packet are described. More particularly methods of transforming a data packet, that include receiving at a router a communication data packet from a server, extracting embedded executable instructions from the communication data packet, and transforming the communication data packet at the router by executing, with a processor of the router, the embedded executable instructions are described. Additionally, router in communication with a Self-Service Terminal (SST) or network of SSTs that utilize data packets have executable instructions are described.
