Method and apparatus for enabling provision of routing information and network selection information to one or more devices

摘要

An apparatus for providing route information to a device(s) may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including receiving route information from a network device defining rules for devices for connection to a network(s). The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to convert the route information into a type of packet data to obtain route selection information corresponding to the route information. The route selection information is generated on behalf of a device(s) that is unable to communicate with the network device to use the route information to select an interface(s) for communication of content. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to provide the route selection information to the device to utilize the route information to select an interface(s) for communication of data. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

1. A method comprising:
receiving route information from a network device that defines one or more rules for devices to utilize for connection to one or more networks; converting the route information into a type of packet data to obtain route selection information corresponding to data of the route information, the route selection information is generated on behalf of at least one device that is unable to communicate with the network device to use the route information to select at least one interface for communication of content; and enabling provision of the route selection information to the at least one device to enable the at least one device to utilize the route selection information to select one or more interfaces for communication of data.
