ABSTRACT:
In a computer network, a front end processor (FEP) is connected to at least one processor via a network node and connected to a plurality of terminals via a switched network. The FEP has means for executing a communications processing application, a means for creating and managing connections between the front end processor and the network nodes upon request from a terminal, a means for referring to the network nodes to be used by the particular terminal by a logic name, rather than its physical address, when communicating, and a means for changing and/or updating the logical name to be used by the terminal when addressing the network node. The FEP has an internal connection means holding a node management table indicating connection relationships between the terminals and network nodes so that no access to a name server is required. This reduces network traffic and facilitates flexibility in setting connections.
