SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ROUTING MESSAGES IN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Methods and systems herein enables communication between connected devices and a federation of servers in a distributed computing system. The federation of servers allows a given connected device to freely move within the system such that the connected device does not need any knowledge of its own location or any routing details about nodes within the federation. The edge and intermediate servers employ a non-network addressable identifier associated with the device to establish a binding path from the platform server to the device. In another aspect, the intermediate servers operate as stateless servers and do not maintain or track the states of communication that relay therethrough. Rather, the intermediate servers inject the state information to each inbound message and employ routing rules in directing the injected information back to its source.
