Abstract

A system and method for message routing in a computer network. The present system establishes a routing layer between the network and transport layers in a network, for communicating routing information between end-points in the network. A route management connection for communicating route management information between two ports in the network is established between pseudo end-points in the network. A route and route set are established between end-points in the network, where the route set provides a relationship between two end-point incarnations that indicates the existence of at least one route between the end-points. A route set management connection is established between the end-points for managing connections that are established on the route set. A route between the end points is selected using a route in the route set, and an application connection is established between two applications running on respective end-points in the network, using the route set and the route set management connection.
