Abstract
The invention presented herein is a system and method for automatically discovering communication capabilities for direct communication between endpoints across one or more unknown networks, the system comprising: a plurality of network enabled endpoints configured with a module in wireless communication with a management database, the module configured to establish a communication path for direct communication between the network-enabled endpoints, independent of a NAT router. Also disclosed is a system and method for indirect connectionless bi-directional messaging over an unknown network infrastructure for communicating a message communication between a querying device and a database, wherein communication is enabled without the requirement for direct access to the database for either obtaining or placing information; and where the message communication comprises an unlimited amount of discreet and selectable information elements; and without requiring or issuing a direct acknowledgement of a receipt from the database of the communication message received.
