The registry may, for example, indicate resources available from a plurality of remote network access devices via a communications network. Moreover, a personal network address may be associated with each available resource, the personal network address including an destination address portion and an application program identifier portion. A direct communications link may then be established between a first network access device hosting an available resource and a second network address device using the personal network address associated with the resource.Field of SearchMISCELLANEOUSDISTRIBUTED DATA PROCESSING Processing agent Client/server Priority based messaging REMOTE DATA ACCESSING Using interconnected networks Accessing a remote server Network resource allocating COMPUTER-TO-COMPUTER SESSION/CONNECTION ESTABLISHING Session/connection parameter setting Network resources access controlling Computer network monitoring COMPUTER NETWORK MANAGING Distributed or remote access | |
