Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for accessing an object in a network providing communication among multiple network devices and a namespace server including a namespace comprising one network address, e.g., IP address, for each network device in the system. The network device retrieves the namespace from the namespace server over the network and maintains the retrieved namespace as a local namespace at the network device. The network device may then determine the network address of a target network device to use to send a request to the network address of the target network device.
