Geographically appropriate domain name system assignment

摘要

Computer-readable media, systems, and methods for geographically appropriate domain name system assignment are described. In embodiments, a mobile internet protocol session is initialized with a packet data serving node, and a registration request is communicated to a home agent, the home agent acting as a router on a home network of the mobile device and enabled to tunnel one or more data packets to the mobile device when the mobile device is outside the home network. Further, in embodiments a registration reply is received from the home agent, the registration reply including a domain name system server assignment to a domain name system server acting as a translator capable of converting one or more hostnames into one or more associated IP addresses during the mobile IP session.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for assigning a geographically appropriate domain name system (“DNS”) server to a mobile device, the method comprising:
initializing a mobile internet protocol (“IP”) session for the mobile device with a packet data serving node (“PDSN”); communicating a registration request to a home agent, the home agent acting as a router on a home network of the mobile device and enabled to tunnel one or more data packets to and from the mobile device when the mobile device is outside the home network; and receiving a registration reply from the home agent for the mobile device, the registration reply including a DNS server assignment to a geographically appropriate DNS server, wherein the DNS server is operable to receive, from the mobile device, a DNS query including a hostname not associated with the mobile device, and to respond with an IP address corresponding to said hostname.
