Method and system for intelligent routing of requests over EPP

摘要

Method and system for routing EPP requests over a network are provided. The EPP request can include XML namespace information and optionally XML sub-product information. A gateway can receive the request and analyze the namespace and in some instances, sub-product information to determine the service to which the request is directed. Thereupon, the gateway can route the request to the appropriate service by consulting a routing table that can have status and connectivity information for all the available services.

1. A computer-implemented method for routing requests received using an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), the method comprising:
receiving, from a requestor, a request to connect to a domain name system (DNS)-related service via the EPP, the request including extensible markup language (XML), wherein the XML includes information about the DNS-related service to which the request is directed; analyzing the XML to determine XML namespace information; determining the DNS-related service to which the request is directed based at least in part on the XML namespace information; and routing the request to the DNS-related service thereby providing the requestor access to the DNS-related service.
