1. A system for enabling connectivity for protocol-aware applications across different network topologies comprising:

  • a network device handler configured for coupling to a protocol-aware application configured for operation in a first network having a first network topology, and a network device communicatively linked to a second network having a second, different network topology; and

    , first and second mappings, said first mapping comprising a mapping of identifiers for remote resources in said second network to said remote resources, said second mapping comprising a mapping of device identifiers for local resources to sockets for said local resources;

    said network device handler comprising program code enabled to utilize said second mapping to receive data from said protocol-aware application for transmission through said network device to selected remote resources in said second network in a protocol consistent with said first network topology;

    said network device handler further comprising program code enabled to utilize said first mapping to receive data from said remote resources in said second network through said network device for transmission to said protocol-aware application in a protocol consistent with said first network topology.
