Method for establishing connection between devices
First Claim
1. A method performed by a first network device for communicating over a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the first network device, a request to connect to a second network device;
based on the request to connect, determining whether the first network device is set to an encrypted communication mode;
based on a determination that the first network device is set to the encrypted communication mode;
sending, to a first name service, a first name associated with the second network device and for which the first name service supports establishing an encrypted connection to the second network device;
receiving, at the first network device, a resource for the encrypted connection to the second network device, wherein;
the first name service determines a quality of service level for the encrypted communication link based on the first name and on a user associated with the first network device,the first name service selects the resource based on the determined quality of service level for the encrypted connection, the resource including one or more network addresses for accessing the second network device, andthe quality of service level corresponds to a priority with which the first network device accesses the second network device; and
communicating with the second network device over the network via the encrypted connection using the received resource indicating the determined service level for the encrypted connection.

Abstract
A method performed by a first network device for communicating over a network, the method includes receiving, at the first network device, a request to connect to a second network device. The method includes, based on the request to connect, determining whether the first network device is set to an encrypted communication mode. The method further includes, based on a determination that the first network device is set to the encrypted communication mode, sending, to a first name service, a first name associated with the second network device and for which the first name service supports establishing an encrypted connection to the second network device. The method further includes receiving, at the first network device, a resource for the encrypted connection to the second network device, wherein the resource indicates a quality of service level for the encrypted connection determined by the first name service, and communicating with the second network device over the network via the encrypted connection using the received resource indicating the determined service level for the encrypted connection.

19. A first network device configured to communicate over a network, the first network device comprising:
-
a memory storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to; allow the first network device to be set to an encrypted communication mode; receive a request to connect to a second network device; based on the request to connect, determine whether the first network device is set to the encrypted communication mode; based on a determination that first network device is set to the encrypted communication mode; send, to a first name service, a first name associated with the second network device and for which the first name service supports establishing an encrypted connection to the second network device; receive, at the first network device, a resource for the encrypted connection to the second network device, wherein; the first name service determines a quality of service level for the encrypted communication link based on the first name and on a user associated with the first network device, the first name service selects the resource based on the determined quality of service level for the encrypted connection, the resource including one or more network addresses for accessing the second network device, and the quality of service level corresponds to a priority with which the first network device accesses the second network device; and communicate with the second network device over the network via the encrypted connection using the received resource indicating the determined quality of service level for the encrypted connection. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
