Abstract
A communication method executed by a processor included in a communication apparatus, the method includes receiving an inquiry about an address allocated to a server identified with a domain name from a terminal apparatus; determining an address allocated to the server identified with the domain name or an address allocated to the communication apparatus as an address of which the terminal apparatus is notified based on a frequency of the inquiries about the domain name; and transmitting the determined address to the terminal apparatus.
Claims12
A communication method executed by a processor included in a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- storing a target data in a cache memory device in the communication apparatus;
- receiving an inquiry including a domain name corresponding to the target data from a terminal apparatus;
- selecting an address from among an address allocated to the server identified with the domain name and an address allocated to the communication apparatus storing the target data as an address of which the terminal apparatus is notified based on a frequency of inquiries about the domain name;
- and
- transmitting the selected address to the terminal apparatus,
- wherein the communication method further comprising:
- determining whether cache setting corresponding to a domain name included in the inquiry indicates that a caching process is valid by referring to the domain name, the frequency of inquiries, and frequency information associated with the cache setting indicating whether the caching process by the communication apparatus is valid when the inquiry is received;
- and
- determining whether the frequency exceeds a predetermined threshold when it is determined that the cache setting does not indicate that the caching process is valid.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- store a target data in a cache memory device in the communication apparatus,
- receive an inquiry including a domain name corresponding to the target data from a terminal apparatus,
- select an address from among an address allocated to the server identified with the domain name and an address allocated to the communication apparatus storing the target data as an address of which the terminal apparatus is notified based on a frequency of the inquiries about the domain name, and
- transmit the selected address to the terminal apparatus, wherein the processor is configured to:
- determine whether cache setting corresponding to a domain name included in the inquiry indicates that a caching process is valid by referring to the domain name, the frequency of inquiries, and frequency information associated with the cache setting when the inquiry is received, and
- determine whether the frequency of inquiries exceeds a predetermined threshold when it is determined that the cache setting does not indicate that the caching process is valid.
