A device may include a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to identify a communication link between a first domain object and a second domain object; identify a first endpoint associated with the first domain object and a second endpoint associated with the second domain object; and determine a location relationship between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. The processor may be further configured to select a communication mechanism based on the determined location relationship; instruct the first endpoint to communicate with the second endpoint using the selected communication mechanism; and instruct the second endpoint to communicate with the first endpoint using the selected communication mechanism.
