Hi ,
I hope it is not off topic I have 2 links found to a framework called JXTA
http://www.jxta.org/white_papers.html
http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2001/06/05/jxtachat.html

may be this could help a little

Betreff: Re: SOAP-over-UDP


I'm afraid that is a very verbose way of doing things. The typical
way to do this is determine a port, have your server broadcast its IP
address on that port, and your clients look on that port to grab the
address.

Once the address is found, you can safely interact with the server
using SOAP over HTTP.
