  • defining a connection, the connection including information identifying an associated service definition, an associated origination endpoint and an associated destination endpoint within the network;

    distributing the connection definition via the network to the origination endpoint and the destination endpoint; and

    implementing a service defined by the service definition between the origination endpoint and the destination endpoint, whereby the origination endpoint and the destination endpoint communicate with each other directly over the network in a secure and reliable way.
