Abstract
An interconnectivity framework, method, and system for communicating in a peer-to-peer network is disclosed. A peer of the interconnectivity framework includes a peer library for publishing, messaging and locating component blocks over the peer-to-peer network and a telespace framework for managing component blocks in response to a requirement of an application to be executed at the peer. The component blocks being obtained by the peer library enable execution of the application at the peer in accordance with the requirement. The requirement defines the type of application so that the appropriate component blocks can be obtained from the peer-to-peer network. A networker is further included to enable communication with specific grids of the peer-to-peer network and to enable the publishing, messaging, and locating of objects published by specific peers of a grid of the peer-to-peer network.
