METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION AND USE OF DECORATED NETWORKING IDENTIFIER
First Claim
1. A method for producing a decorated networking identifier at a client terminal for transmission to a server side element, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining the networking identifier at the client terminal;
appending the networking identifier with one or more extensible decorations at the client terminal creating the decorated networking identifier, wherein the one or more extensible decorations are separated from the networking identifier by a first predetermined character, the one or more decorations each comprise a decoration sequence and an identifier corresponding to the decoration sequence, and the identifier and the decoration sequence are separated by a second predetermined character; and
transmitting the decorated networking identifier from client terminal to the server side element.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for producing a decorated networking identifier at a client terminal for transmission to a server side element. The networking identifier is obtained at the client terminal. The networking identifier is appended with one or more extensible decorations at the client terminal creating the decorated networking identifier. The one or more extensible decorations are separated from the networking identifier by a first predetermined character. The one or more decorations each include a decoration sequence and an identifier corresponding to the decoration sequence. The identifier and the decoration sequence are separated by a second predetermined character. The decorated networking identifier is transmitted from the client terminal to the server side element.

15. A method for processing a decorated networking identifier at a server side element comprising the steps of:
-
receiving the decorated networking identifier at the server side element from a client terminal; and removing one or more extensible decorations from the decorated networking identifier at the server side element creating an original networking identifier, wherein the one or more extensible decorations are separated from the networking identifier by a first predetermined character, the one or more decorations each comprise a decoration sequence and an identifier corresponding to the decoration sequence, and the identifier and the decoration sequence are separated by a second predetermined character. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A client terminal for producing a decorated networking identifier that obtains the networking identifier, appends the networking identifier with one or more extensible decorations creating the decorated networking identifier, and transmits the decorated networking identifier to the server side element;
wherein the one or more extensible decorations are separated from the networking identifier by a first predetermined character, the one or more decorations each comprise a decoration sequence and an identifier corresponding to the decoration sequence, and the identifier and the decoration sequence are separated by a second predetermined character.

19. A system for producing and processing a decorated networking identifier comprising:
-
a client terminal that obtains the networking identifier, appends the networking identifier with one or more extensible decorations creating the decorated networking identifier, and transmits the decorated networking identifier to a server side element; and the server side element that receives the decorated networking identifier from the client terminal, and removes one or more extensible decorations from the decorated networking identifier creating an original networking identifier; wherein the one or more extensible decorations are separated from the networking identifier by a first predetermined character, the one or more decorations each comprise a decoration sequence and an identifier corresponding to the decoration sequence, and the identifier and the decoration sequence are separated by a second predetermined character.
