Abstract
A technique allows dynamic negotiation of application names executing on nodes of a computer network for creating a data link for communication between the nodes. Dynamic negotiation is effected through an exchange of novel control messages over a control link used to establish application-application logical links between the nodes. The control messages instruct the nodes to create applications having names specified within predetermined fields of the messages. The technique obviates the need for a system administrator to issue configuration commands to a responding node to statically configure that latter node for communication over a network.
