Abstract

See full text

A set of devices of a distributed data processing system and a protocol are selected to complete an action received by a requesting application. The set of devices and protocol are selected based on whether the protocol supports the type of the requested action; whether the protocol is an allowable/supported protocol for each device along a topology mapped logical route for completing the requested action; and assigned priorities of each protocol. The topology mapped logical route is then used for completing the requested action using the selected protocol. The requesting application may use the action in accordance with the selected allowable supported protocol, e.g., to monitor or discover the target device.
