Abstract
A system including a plurality of nodes operable to exchange information using location-independent addresses. According to one embodiment of a method for obtaining information in a network of nodes, one or more nodes may each create an instance of a location-independent address A. The location-independent address A may represent an address for sending request messages (also referred to simply as requests) in order to obtain information or data from the one or more nodes with which the location-independent address A is associated (i.e., from the one or more nodes that create instances of the location-independent address A). According to one embodiment of a method for storing information in a network of nodes, one or more nodes may each create an instance of a location-independent address A, similarly as described above. However, instead of representing an address for sending requests to obtain information or data, in this case the location-independent address A may represent an address for sending requests to store information or data.
