ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to communications between computing devices. Particularly there is provided a method for enabling communication between a local device of a first network having a predetermined upper layer address space, and a remote device having an upper layer address outside the first network's address space and a lower layer address. In the illustrative embodiments, the present invention enables communication with a remote device as though it were part of a local network by providing a virtual presence for the remote device in the local network address space.
