ABSTRACT:
A connection is established between a node on a first network and at least one node on a second network lacking a valid address on the first network by receiving at a gateway a connection request from the node on the first network, sending information related to the connection request to a plurality of nodes on the second network, receiving responses to the sent information from at least one of the nodes on the second network, and establishing at least one connection between at least one of the nodes on the second network from which responses are received, and the node on the first network, according to the order of the received responses or according to priority weighting information or according to priority weighting information concerning the nodes from which the responses are received.
