ABSTRACT:
A system and method for publishing a network address on a computer network. A first node in a plurality of nodes may initiate a publish operation to publish a first instance of the network address. Initiating the publish operation may comprise the first node sending a publish message to one or more other nodes in the plurality of nodes. The publish message may be propagated from at least a subset of the nodes that receive the publish message from the first node to still other nodes in the plurality of nodes, which in turn may further propagate the publish message. Each node that receives the publish message from another node may create routing information useable to route messages to the first instance of the network address on the first node.
