Abstract
A system and method is provided where, in one aspect, the system and method provide access to one or more devices located on a server. Each device may be physically connected to a controller. The controller may include a plurality of agents each configured to provide access to a device at a unique ephemeral port. The controller may include a registry that stores mapping information between the agents and the ephemeral ports. Applications running on the controller or running on a client may access the registry for port information of a given agent or a given device via a predetermined port.
