Claims29
A method comprising:
- Sending a query;
- and
- Receiving a response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a service virtual communication port.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for sending a query;
- and
- means for receiving a response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a service virtual communication port.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a control hub coupled to the processor;
- an I/O interface coupled to the control hub;
- wherein:
- the processor, control hub, and I/O interface are collectively configured to:
- Send a query;
- and
- Receive a response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a service virtual communication port.
A machine-readable medium embodying instructions, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- Sending a query;
- and
- Receiving a response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a service virtual communication port.
A method comprising:
- Receiving a query;
- Sending a response to the query, the response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a virtual communication port.
The method further comprising:
- Connecting a first service of the available services to a remote device based on a service name of the first service supplied by the remote device.
The method further comprising:
- Connecting a second service of the available services to a remote device based on a service name of the second service supplied by the remote device.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving a query;
- and
- means for sending a response to the query, the response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a virtual communication port.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a control hub coupled to the processor;
- an I/O interface coupled to the control hub;
- wherein:
- the processor, control hub, and I/O interface are collectively configured to:
- Receive a query;
- and
- Send a response to the query, the response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a virtual communication port.
A machine-readable medium embodying instructions, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- Receiving a query;
- Sending a response to the query, the response including a set of records of available services, each record of the set including a service name and a virtual communication port.
