Abstract
A method for networking processing sub-systems is provided in the present disclosure. The method enables sharing of a resource between a plurality of information processing sub-systems wherein at least one sub-system is a PC and at least one sub-system is an upgrade. The method enables the PC to be informed about access to an upgrade. The method enables the upgrade to broadcast a message with an IP address and a port number. The method enables the PC to set up, in response to the message, a proxy client for communicating with a port of the upgrade indicated by the port number. The method enables the upgrade to set up a proxy server to handle a request from the proxy client for access to a second resource. The method further enables registering with the PC of a second interface to the second resource for access to the second resource from the PC.
