Confidential or protected access to a network of nodes distributed over a communication architecture with the aid of a topology server

摘要

System for access to an application distributed over a network of nodes deployed on a communication architecture (A), by a client (C) connected to this architecture. It comprises a server (S) having means for providing on the request of the client information about a set of nodes of the network (Np) taking into account the topology of the network within the communication architecture. It furthermore comprises at least one relay device (R) able to receive the information and at least one mediation device (M) suitable for establishing communications between the client (C) and at least some of the nodes of the set which are determined on the basis of the information provided by the relay device or devices (R).

1. A system for accessing an application distributed across a network of nodes deployed on a communication architecture, by a client connected to said architecture, comprising:
a server in accordance with the ALTO standard, configured to provide, upon a client's request, information about a set of nodes of a network taking into account said network's topology within a communication architecture,
said information is constituted by associations between node identifiers and cost; at least one relay device configured to receive and transmit said information; and at least one mediation device configured to establish communications between said client and at least some nodes of said set of nodes, the nodes of said set of nodes determined from said information transmitted by the at least one relay device.
