ABSTRACT:
A dynamic network address registration system and method. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of a first device which is adapted to communicate over a communications network. The present invention is a also comprised of a second device which is adapted to communicate via a communications network, and, more specifically, is adapted to communicate with the first device via the communications network. The present invention is further comprised of a controller which is adapted to be coupled to the communications network. The controller of the present invention is adapted to store address information for the first device, and to store address information for the second device therein. The controller is further adapted to provide the address information of the second device to the first device such that a communication path can be efficiently established between the first device and the second device via the communications network. In so doing, the present embodiment provides for the efficient establishment of a communications path between the first device and the second device via the communications network without requiring that the first device and the second device have a static address.
