SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM RECORDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958918 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM RECORDS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device and method for managing Domain Name System (DNS) record changes.

  • Receiving DNS record changes
  • Identifying errors in the DNS record changes
  • Discarding erroneous DNS record changes
  • Scheduling error-free DNS record changes
  • Translating DNS record changes into protocol-specific formats
  • Provisioning the translated DNS record changes

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in network management systems, cybersecurity tools, and cloud computing platforms.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient management of DNS record changes 2. Error identification and handling in DNS records

Benefits

1. Improved network reliability 2. Enhanced security through error detection 3. Streamlined DNS record management process

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing network performance, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and improving cloud infrastructure management.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing DNS management tools, network monitoring systems, and cybersecurity solutions.

Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of: receiving domain name system (DNS) record changes; identifying errors from the DNS record changes; discarding the DNS record changes responsive to the errors identified; scheduling the DNS record changes responsive to a lack of errors identified; translating the DNS record changes into protocol specific formats; and provisioning the protocol specific formats of the translated DNS record changes. Other embodiments are disclosed.
