Abstract
The Data communication systems and methods in which information for routing of messages between nodes of a communications network is provided by a directory service (such as the DCE directory service), accessible from all network nodes. The provision of such information by the directory service removes the requirement for routing tables to be set up and maintained at each of the network nodes, whose maintenance can involve considerable network traffic in dynamically changing networks or problems of inconsistent data being held at different nodes.
