ABSTRACT:
A method of allowing any initiating host to establish communications with any receiving host in a computing network using a Multi-path channel communication protocol. The computing environment also having a gateway device that is electronically connected from one end to at least one initiating host and at the other end to at least one local area network through which a plurality of hosts are connected to the gateway device. During an initialization step all functions commercially available on all communication platforms are inputted in a special function table. Then the particular associated platform is queried and the functions provided in the computing environment is determined and inputted also in the function table. All alterations and modifications to the availability of old functions or addition of new functions are also monitored and inputted in the table. In this manner any host connected to the gateway device can obtain a list of all available functions supported by the communication platform at any one time and if desired, even any such host can chose a function from this list of available functions.
