Routing requests for location-to-service translation (LoST) services using proxy server

摘要

A method implemented by a proxy server is provided for routing requests for a Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) service without traversing a forest node structure. The method includes receiving a request for the LoST service initiated by a client, the request including a location of a user device and a requested service; identifying an authoritative LoST server configured to service the requested service and bounded by a service boundary that includes the location included in the request; and directly forwarding the request to the identified authoritative LoST server, without routing through any other LoST server.

1. A method for routing requests from a client for a Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) service, the method comprising:
receiving a request for the LoST service at a proxy server initiated by the client, the request including a location of a user device and a requested service; identifying at the proxy server an authoritative LoST server configured to service the requested service and bounded by a service boundary that includes the location included in the request; retrieving an identifier of the identified authoritative LoST server; and directly forwarding the request for the LoST service from the proxy server to the identified authoritative LoST server using the retrieved identifier, without routing through any other LoST server of a plurality of LoST servers in a forest node structure.
