| 1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of host machines coupled to a network, wherein each of the plurality of host machines is configured to:
generate a process identifier for a process running on the host machine, wherein the process identifier uniquely identifies
the process among current processes running on the host machine;
obtain a current time from a time source; and
combine a host address of the host machine that uniquely identifies the host machine on the network, the process identifier
of the process, and the current time to generate a network resource identifier for the process; wherein the host address is
a combination of a gateway address and a machine address of the host machine;
wherein the network resource identifier uniquely identifies the process on the host machine and on the network.
