ACCESS TO A NETWORK OF NODES DISTRIBUTED OVER A COMMUNICATION ARCHITECTURE WITH THE AID OF A TOPOLOGY SERVER WITH MULTICRITERIA SELECTION

摘要

A system (CALTo, M) for accessing an application distributed across a network of nodes (N1, N2, N3 . . . N50) deployed on a communication architecture (A) by an application client (C) connected to the communication architecture, comprising a server (S) that has a topological view of the network within the communication architecture, and means for providing, upon the client's request, information about a set of nodes of the network based on said topological view, wherein the server is capable of providing information pertaining to a plurality of characteristics related to that set of nodes
