Abstract: A method for obtaining a classification of at least one identifier of at least one computer element is presented. The method involves the sending of identifiers between a sending client computing system and a plurality of receiving client computing systems, with the objective of obtaining a classification of said identifier, which corresponds to a computer element. Alternatively, if a predetermined condition of reception is not reached, a further sending of the identifier may be performed to a server computing system. This way, the classifications may be found spread over a plurality of receiving client computing systems or a server, and the data traffic may be distributed over several paths instead of, for example, a unique path to a unique server computing system.
