Abstract
Methods and apparatus for proxying of devices and services using overlay networks. A method for operating a proxy includes obtaining meta-data associated with at least one of a device and a service, generating a searchable index of the meta-data, and publishing the searchable index on the overlay network as at least one of a distributed index and a centralized index. Another method includes receiving a request from a device or a service using a non overlay protocol to receive at least one of data and services from the overlay network, searching an index of meta-data on the overlay network based on the request, identifying a node associated with the at least one of data and services based on the index, establishing a direct connection with the node, and obtaining the at least one of data and services using the direct connection.
