Method and Apparatus for Selecting Edge Application Server - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18491354 titled 'Method and Apparatus for Selecting Edge Application Server
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for selecting an edge application server based on load state information, performed by a domain name resolution server network element.
- Obtaining load state information of multiple edge application servers
- Determining the first edge application server for a terminal device based on load state information
- Sending DNS response information to the terminal device with identification information of the first edge application server
- Potential Applications:**
- Content delivery networks - Cloud computing services - Edge computing environments
- Problems Solved:**
- Efficient load balancing for edge application servers - Improved performance for terminal devices - Enhanced user experience
- Benefits:**
- Optimal selection of edge application server based on load state - Reduced latency for terminal devices - Improved reliability and scalability of network services
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for selecting an edge application server, where the method is performed by a domain name resolution server network element, and includes: obtaining load state information of a plurality of edge application servers; when Domain Name System (DNS) request information is received from a terminal device, determining a first edge application server of the terminal device based on the load state information of the edge application servers, where the edge application servers include the first edge application server; and sending DNS response information to the terminal device, where the DNS response information includes identification information of the first edge application server. Therefore, the domain name resolution server network element determines an appropriate edge application server for the terminal device based on the load state information and network addresses of the edge application servers.
