Abstract:
1. A system for effecting communications among a plurality of devices situated in a plurality of domains; the system comprising: a topology agent providing unit situated in a source domain of said plurality of domains and configured for effecting operation of the system among said plurality of domains; respective domains of said plurality of domains employing differing operating protocols; a plurality of negotiator agent operating units situated between said source domain and a plurality of respective other domains of said plurality of domains than said source domain and coupled with said topology agent providing unit; said topology agent providing unit being directly coupled with a plurality of selected negotiator agent operating units of said plurality of negotiator agent operating units; each respective negotiator agent operating unit of said plurality of negotiator agent operating units implementing industry standard parameters provided by said topology agent providing unit to convey communications from said source domain to at least one other domain of said plurality of respective other domains, at least one negotiator agent operating unit of said plurality of negotiator agent operating units configured to receive information from said topology agent providing unit regarding a hop to a selected domain of said plurality of respective other domains and to generate an agent in said selected domain for receiving instructions from the at least one negotiator agent operating unit, such that a path is established between said source domain and a destination domain; and a plurality of proxy agent operating units; at least one proxy agent operating unit of said plurality of proxy agent operating units being coupled with a respective other domain of said plurality of respective other domains for configuring at least one device, other than one of said plurality of proxy agent operating units, in said respective other domain for implementing said industry standard parameters received from said respective negotiator agent operating unit to effect said communications within said respective other domain; said at least one device being configured to include a framework for accepting said industry standard parameters.
