Abstract
Disclosed are example embodiments of systems and methods for finding and storing connection paths between Internet connected devices, the system including at least one processor and at least one memory device. At least one memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to determine network locality, find a domain name system (DNS) record for a DNS authority nearest to a client, discover information for a cloud infrastructure for the DNS authority nearest to the client, and store the information in a database.
Claims14
A system for finding and storing connection paths between Internet connected devices, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- determine network locality,
- find a domain name system (DNS) record for a DNS authority nearest to a client,
- discover information for a cloud infrastructure for the DNS authority nearest to the client,
- store the information in a database, and
- using said discovered information, identify and interface with one or more cloud service providers, allowing for dynamic native DNS resolution across said one or more cloud service providers based on client-specific requirements.
A method for finding and storing connection paths between Internet connected devices, comprising:
- determining network locality;
- finding a domain name system (DNS) record for a DNS authority nearest to a client;
- discovering information for a cloud infrastructure for the DNS authority nearest to the client;
- storing the information in a database;
- and
- using said discovered information, identifying and interfacing with one or more cloud service providers to enable dynamic native DNS resolution across said one or more cloud service providers based on client-specific requirements.
