Abstract
A virtual architecture for enabling direct point-to-point communications between any processes on a network cloud utilizes a process record in which information relevant to the process is stored and propagated through a parent/child hierarchy of connection service processes and information service processes. Process records and information relating to processes are propagated throughout private clouds, public clouds and interconnecting global services to facilitate both activity based network routing and load based network routing without the use of predetermined network routing mechanisms.
