`ABSTRACT
`
`A point-to—point Internet protocol exchanges Internet Proto-
`col (IP) addresses between processing units to establish a
`point-to—point communication link between the processing
`units through the Internet. A first point-to-point Internet pro-
`tocol includes the steps of (a) storing in a database 3 respec-
`tive IP address of a set of processing units that have an
`on-line status with respect to the lntemet; (b) transmitting a
`query from a first processing unit to a connection server to
`determine the on-line status of a second processing unit; and
`(c) retrieving the IP address of the second unit from the
`database using the connection server, in response to the
`determination of a positive on-line status of the second pro-
`cessing unit, for establishing a point-to-point communica-
`tion link between the first and second processing units
`through the Internet. A second point-to-point Internet proto-
`col includes the steps of (a) transmitting an E-mail signal,
`including a first IP address. from a first processing unit; (b)
`processing the E-mail signal through the Internet to deliver
`the E-mail signal to a second processing unit; and (c) trans-
`mitting a second IP address to the first processing unit for
`establishing a point-to-point communication link between
`the first and second processing unit through the Internet.
