Resolving IP addresses in a wireless environment

摘要

A method of anonymously resolving Internet Protocol (IP) addresses using a distributed network includes defining a virtual geographic area that comprises a micro dynamic domain name server (MDDNS); wirelessly receiving at a central facility a geographic attribute of a telematics unit; determining at the central facility that the telematics unit is within the virtual geographic area using the received geographic attribute; and transmitting an IP address of a host telematics unit in the MDDNS to the telematics unit.

1. A method of anonymously resolving Internet Protocol (IP) addresses using a distributed network, comprising the steps of:
(a) defining a virtual geographic area that comprises a micro dynamic domain name server (MDDNS), wherein within the virtual geographic area a host wireless device resolves IP addresses for one or more wireless devices also within the virtual geographic area; (b) wirelessly receiving at a central facility a geographic attribute of a wireless device; (c) determining at the central facility that the wireless device is within the virtual geographic area using the received geographic attribute; and (d) transmitting an IP address of the host wireless device in the MDDNS to the wireless device.
