INTELLIGENT IP RESOLVER
First Claim
1. An intelligent Internet Protocol (IP) resolver implemented on one or more computing devices having machine readable instructions, the intelligent IP resolver being configured to:
- receive a domain name service (DNS) request from a node of an external network to resolve a domain name for a content provider accessed via an autonomous network;
determine an entry point into the autonomous network for traffic originating from a mobile device identified in the DNS request; and
generate a DNS answer that identifies a node of the content provider, wherein the node of the content provider is determined based on the entry point of the autonomous network.

Abstract
An intelligent Internet Protocol (IP) resolver can be configured to receive a domain name service (DNS) request from a node of an external network to resolve a domain name for a content provider accessed via an autonomous network. The intelligent IP resolver can also be configured to determine an entry point into the autonomous network for traffic originating from a mobile device identified in the DNS request. The intelligent IP resolver can further be configured to generate a DNS answer that identifies a node of the content provider. The node of the content provider can be determined based on the entry point of the autonomous network.

10. An autonomous network comprising:
-
a plurality of entry points to the autonomous network, wherein each entry point is coupled to a corresponding external network of a plurality of external networks; and an intelligent IP resolver configured to; receive a domain name service (DNS) request for a content provider comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein the DNS request identifies a mobile device operating on an external network; and select a node of the content provider based on a particular entry point of the plurality of entry points in response to the DNS request, wherein traffic from the mobile device flows through the particular entry point into the autonomous network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving a domain name service (DNS) request from a node of an external network to resolve a domain name for a content provider operating on an autonomous network; determining whether network architecture and control plane interface information are known for the autonomous network; identifying an entry point into the autonomous network for traffic originating from a mobile device identified in the DNS request, in response to the determination of whether the network architecture and the control plane interface information are known; and determine an Internet Protocol (IP) address for a node of the content provider based on the entry point into the autonomous network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
