Abstract
A method and system for federation of proxy-based and proxy-free communications systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-executable method comprises broadcasting a network address of a federation computer with an identification of the federation computer as a server for domains operating on a proxy-less protocol. The method includes establishing communications with a server on the network according to a proxy-less communications protocol to receive data bound for a destination domain that operates according to a proxy-based communications protocol and to receive data bound for a destination domain that operates according to a proxy-less communications protocol. Further, the method calls for establishing communications with a proxy on the network according to a proxy-based protocol to receive data bound for a destination domain.
