Here i am developing an application which uses peer to peer connection. i am able to communicate using WIFI and Bluetooth connection. i.e a devices with in a same local network are able to communicate with each other.

Is it possible to communicate online using Bonjour service or any other option for online communication.

Please help me...

+2  A: 

Bonjour works only in the local network, because the devices communicate via multicast DNS (IP: 224.0.0.251). You could use Wide Area Bonjour with the cooperation of a DNS server. Under http://www.dns-sd.org/ServerSetup.html you find a description how to set that up on Unix.

Other than that I don't think there is any special support by Apple. You have to set up some kind of server on the Internet yourself.
