Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to communication between a client and a server or between peers in a communications network. In one particular example, only a desired server from a plurality of servers addressable through a socket address may respond to a client request to initiate a session.
Claims34
A method, comprising:
- transmitting an initial startup packet to a network, the initial startup packet comprising a socket address associated with a plurality of endpoints and an endpoint discriminator associated with a requested endpoint;
- and
- receiving a response packet from said requested endpoint based, at least in part, on said endpoint discriminator.
A method, comprising:
- receiving an initial startup packet from a network comprising a socket address and an endpoint discriminator associated with a requested endpoint from among a plurality of endpoints addressable through said socket address;
- and
- selectively responding to said initial startup packet with a response packet based, at least in part, on said endpoint discriminator.
An article, comprising:
- a storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions stored thereon which, if executed by a computing platform, are adapted to cause said computing platform to:
- transmit an initial startup packet to a network, the initial startup packet comprising a socket address associated with a plurality of endpoints and an endpoint discriminator associated with a requested endpoint;
- and
- receive a response packet from said requested endpoint based, at least in part, on said endpoint discriminator.

A computing platform, said computing platform comprising:
- a communication adapter adapted to transmit information to and receive information from a network;
- and
- a processing system coupled to said communication adapter, said processing system being adapted to:
- receive an initial startup packet from the network comprising a socket address and an endpoint discriminator associated with a requested endpoint from among a plurality of endpoints addressable through said socket address;
- and
- selectively respond to said initial startup packet with a response packet based, at least in part, on said endpoint discriminator.
