ACCESS TO A NETWORK OF NODES DISTRIBUTED OVER A COMMUNICATION ARCHITECTURE USING A TOPOLOGY SERVER WITH MULTI CRITERIA SELECTION

摘要

The invention relates to a system providing access (C M) to an application distributed over a network of nodes (N1 N2 N3... N50) deployed on a communication architecture (A) by an application client (C) connected to the communication architecture. The invention comprises a server (S) having a topological view of the network within the communication architecture and means for providing information at the request of the client relating to a set of nodes of the network as a function of the topological view. According to the invention the server can provide information relating to a plurality of characteristics pertaining to this set of nodes.
