System and method for network addressing

Abstract

An improved computer system for maintaining a network connection with a remote computer by providing persistent network addressing system, the improved computer system comprising: a local computer that includes: at least one processor; a local routable address; and a memory device that stores a persistent address application, the at least one processor being adapted by the persistent address application to: receive a first request, from a requesting application, to send a first outbound data to a remote computer, the remote computer including: at least one remote processor, a remote routable address, and a remote memory device; send the first outbound data to the remote computer based at least in part on the local and remote routable addresses; and present at least one of the following to the requesting application: a local persistent address as the local routable address, where the local persistent address is configured to remain the same while the local routable address changes; and a remote persistent address as the remote routable address, where the remote persistent address is configured to remain the same while the remote routable address changes; where the persistent address application utilizes network implementation details while allowing the requesting application to bypass network implementation details. A method for providing persistent network addressing comprising: receiving, at a local computer that includes: at least one processor; a local routable address; and a memory device that stores a persistent address application, a first request, from a requesting application, to send a first outbound data to a remote computer, the remote computer including: at least one remote processor; a remote routable address; and a remote memory device; sending, by way of the at least one processor being adapted by the persistent address application, the first outbound data to the remote computer based at least in part on the local and remote routable address; and presenting, by way of the at least one processor being adapted by the persistent address application, at least one of the following to the requesting application: a local persistent address as the local routable address, where the local persistent address is configured to remain the same while the local routable address changes; a remote persistent address as the remote routable address, where the remote persistent address is configured to remain the same while the remote routable address changes; and where the persistent address application utilizes network implementation details while allowing the requesting application to bypass network implementation details.
