Abstract

An address discovery scheme that enables a user connected to a data network to obtain the current address of any other user connected to the network, including users at fixed location and mobile users. This new addressing discovery process is supported by new network capabilities built into the users' networked devices and into new network elements, the address servers. Working together with the new users' networked devices, the address servers enable the establishment and maintenance of temporary associations between users and their network addresses. This information is accessible to other users of the network; however, the individual users have the ability to control its dissemination.
