Method for establishing connection between devices

摘要

A device and method for establishing a connection between devices is disclosed. A first device receives a request to connect to a second network device and, based on the request, a determination is made as to whether the first device is set to a first communication mode or a second communication mode. If the first device is set to the first communication mode then a first name associated with the second device is sent to a first name service, the first name service supporting establishing an encrypted connection to the second device, a resource for the encrypted connection to the second device is received at the first device, and communication with the second device is established over the network via the encrypted connection using the received resource. If the first device is set to the second communication mode then communication with the second device is established via a second connection.

主权项

1. A method performed by a first network device for communicating over a network, the method comprising:
receiving, at the first network device, a request to connect to a second network device; based on the request to connect, determining whether the first network device is set to the first communication mode or the second communication mode; if it is determined that the first network device is set to the first communication mode:
sending, to a first name service, a first name associated with the second network device and for which the first name service supports establishing an encrypted connection to the second network device;receiving, at the first network device, a resource for the encrypted connection to the second network device; andcommunicating with the second network device over the network via the encrypted connection using the received resource; and if it is determined that the first network device is set to the second communication mode, communicating with the second network device via a second connection; wherein the first name service determines a quality of service level for the encrypted connection, and the resource indicates the determined quality of service level for the encrypted connection.
