1. A system for denoting and communicating with a mobile site wirelessly couplable to a computer network, comprising:
- an address parser that makes a determination of whether a site is said mobile site or a fixed site of said computer network from a top level domain name of said site, if said site is a fixed site, said site is further processed;
a mirror site, couplable to said computer network, that contains a time-delayed copy of data present at said mobile site; and
a communications manager that manages communication with said site based on said determination, said communications manager directing said communication, when said site is a mobile site, either to said mobile site when said mobile site is in wireless communication with said computer network or to said mirror site when said mobile site is out of wireless communication with said computer network, wherein said communications manager buffers said communications to accommodate a lower bandwidth when said site is a mobile site.

9. A computer network, comprising:
-
fixed sites having fixed-site domain names associated therewith; mobile sites having mobile-site domain names associated therewith; a communications infrastructure that couples ones of said pluralities of fixed and mobile sites for communication therebetween; an address parser that makes a determination of whether a site is one of said mobile sites or one of said fixed sites according to a top level domain name of said site, if said site is a fixed site, said site is further processed; a mirror site, couplable to said computer network, that contains a time-delayed copy of data present at said mobile site; and a communications manager that manages communication with said site based on said determination, said communications manager directing said communication, when said site is a mobile site, either to said mobile site when said mobile site is in wireless communication with said computer network or to said mirror site when said mobile site is out of wireless communication with said computer network, wherein said communications manager buffers said communications to accommodate a lower bandwidth when said site is a mobile site. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
