A uniform network access mechanism can include software operative on multiple operating systems and executed on a network access device. A registry can display discrete services available on a network and implement communication with a discrete service listed as available. A discrete service can be identified with a Personal Network (PeN) address comprising an Internet Protocol address and a port number. Sending and receiving of data packets can be coordinated. A data packet can be received and parsed with an action responsive to the content of a received packet performed.Field of SearchCOMPUTER-TO-COMPUTER PROTOCOL IMPLEMENTINGMISCELLANEOUS COMPUTER NETWORK MANAGING Network resource allocating Network resources access controlling DISTRIBUTED DATA PROCESSING Processing agent Client/server Priority based messaging REMOTE DATA ACCESSING Using interconnected networks Accessing a remote server Computer network monitoring COMPUTER-TO-COMPUTER SESSION/CONNECTION ESTABLISHING Session/connection parameter setting Distributed or remote access | |
