Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and systems of forming the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of an arbitrary segment of a resource without the FRAGMENT component, and generally comprising the steps of devising a logical framework for the resource and formulating an addressing scheme and reverse-addressing scheme for any arbitrary segment of the resource. Embodiments of the general methods and systems may include attaching information regarding the subject matter of the segment of the resource to the corresponding URI, and forming a composite URI for multiple component segments of one or more resources without the need to physically combine the component segments.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system, protocol and method for communications over the Internet. The system includes at least one router connectable to a first user or subscriber location. An Internet protocol service processing switch (IPSX) is connected to the at least one router to format or encapsulate the message for secure transmission over the Internet. The message is then preferably transmitted over the Internet via an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) tunnel for secure transmission to the addressed destination.
