METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR FACILITATING THE RESOLVING OF ENDPOINT HOSTNAMES IN TEST ENVIRONMENTS WITH FIREWALLS, NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATORS (NATS), OR CLOUDS

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for facilitating the resolving of endpoint hostnames in test environments with firewalls, network address translators (NATs), or clouds is disclosed. According to one exemplary method, the method occurs at a registration server configured to operate in a public network. The method includes receiving, from a first endpoint, a packet including a payload containing a first address and a hostname associated with the first endpoint. The method also includes identifying a second address from a header of the packet. The method also includes initiating, using the second address, a connection to the first endpoint. The method also includes determining whether the connection is successful. The method further includes associating the hostname of the first endpoint with one of the first address and the second address based on results of the determination.

1. A method for facilitating the resolving of a hostname of an endpoint, the method comprising:
at a registration server including at least one processor, the registration server configured to operate in a public network:
receiving, from a first endpoint, a packet including a payload containing a first address and a hostname associated with the first endpoint;identifying a second address from a header of the packet;initiating, using the second address, a connection to the first endpoint;determining whether the connection is successful; andassociating the hostname of the first endpoint with one of the first address and the second address based on results of the determination.
