Hi Urs,

I would like to simplify the process of connecting two patches by sending the second patch the IP address of the first patch.
Some folks from "The Hub", along with Ross Bencina of "AudioMulch" fame, have been working on an OSC system for collaborative performances involving a server-app which handles the routing for you. IP addresses are replaced with simple IDs, and it looks fairly plug-and-play. Unfortunately, besides some undocumented PD patches for using this system, that's all I can share with you.
I got this info from Scot Gresham-Lancaster, who is CC'd here in the hopes that he can send a proper URL to some docs. (Scot, you can reply to me and I'll forward to the PD list if you aren't subscribed and don't want to be!)
best, derek
