Abstract
Software on one system may query nodes which need to be addressed by clients on the system to determine whether those nodes are accessible. The software may query those nodes by sending a discovery message to those nodes and monitoring for a discovery response. If the discovery response is received, the software clients may be notified that the connection is existing and can be used to access the remote nodes.
