ADDRESS FAMILY PREFERENCE IN MULTIPLE NETWORK INTERFACE ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Internet protocol (IP) addresses are received from one or more domain name service (DNS) servers for accessing a remote host in response to a DNS query. The IP addresses are prioritized based on a list of preferred network interfaces associated with a plurality of networks. A network connection is established with the remote host using the most prioritized one of the IP addresses and a network protocol associated with the most prioritized IP address, where the most prioritized IP address is routable to reach the remote host over a network via the most preferred network interface.
