Routing based request correlation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- under control of one or more computing devices configured with specific computer executable instructions,associating a set of two or more distinct network addresses with a network-based service provider;
receiving a first query including an identifier of the network-based service provider, wherein the first query is received from a system other than a client computing device from which the first query originates;
selecting a first unique network address from the set of two or more distinct network addresses based, at least in part, on the first query, wherein the first unique network address is included in a first response to a second query previous to the first query;
transmitting a second response to the first query, wherein the second response includes the first unique network address and occurs after the first response;
receiving a request for network resources directed to the first unique network address;
correlating the first query with the request for network resources based, at least in part, on the first unique network address; and
causing service performance analysis based, at least in part, on the correlation to determine routing or processing improvements.

Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure will be described with regard to the processing of DNS queries by a DNS service based on multiple network addresses associated with a single network entity (e.g., a service provider). The DNS service may respond to each DNS query for identifying network addresses associated with the service provider with a respective unique network address from a pool of network addresses. Based on the uniqueness of network addresses, DNS queries and subsequent communications between respective client computing devices and the service can be correlated.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining a query including an identifier associated with a service provider, wherein the query is obtained from a system other than a client computing device from which the query originates; selecting a distinct network address from a set of two or more network addresses associated with the service provider based, at least in part, on the query, wherein the distinct network address is included in a first response to a second query previous to the query; causing transmission of the distinct network address in response to the query and after transmission of the first response, wherein the client computing device communicates with the service provider based on the distinct network address; causing correlation between the query and the client computing device'"'"'s communication with the service provider based, at least in part, on the distinct network address; and determining routing or processing improvements. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
a data store configured to store at least one computer-executable instruction; and at least one processor in communication with the data store that, when executing the at least one computer-executable instruction, cause the system to; obtain a first query including an identifier associated with a service provider, wherein the first query is obtained from an entity other than a first client computing device from which the first query originates; select a first distinct network address from a set of two or more network addresses associated with the service provider based, at least in part, on the first query, wherein the first distinct network address is included in a first response to a second query previous to the first query; cause transmission of the first distinct network address in response to the first query and after transmission of the first response, wherein the first client computing device communicates with the service provider based on the first distinct network address; cause correlation between the first query and the first client computing device'"'"'s communication with the service provider based, at least in part, on the first distinct network address; and determine routing or processing improvements. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
