Abstract
A system and method of routing messages in a distributed computing environment is provided. The method includes providing a platform server, a set of intermediary servers, and a set of edge servers, collectively defining a network. The method includes binding, at the platform server, at a first instance, the end-point device to the platform server wherein the platform server binds, at the first instance, the end-point device using a non-addressable name value associated to the end-point device. The binding associates a first path across the network. The method includes communicating a first message to the end-point device along the first path. Method includes rebinding, at the platform server, at a second instance, the end-point device to the platform server, where the rebinding uses the non-addressable name value and associates a second path across the network. The method includes communicating a second message to the end-point device along the second path.
