Abstract
A method for establishing a connection between two nodes in a communication network without use of a centralized directory or mapping identifiers includes: receiving a lookup message from another node in the communication network that includes a lookup term; determining if a target node in a local directory cache can be identified that satisfies the lookup term; and, if such a node is identified, establishing a connection to the target node and forwarding the lookup message, or, if no such node is identified, forwarding the lookup message to other nodes in the network with which the node has an active communication connection.
