System and method for directing wireless data packet traffic

A method of routing wireless data protocol traffic, the method comprising:

• receiving a wireless data protocol message;
• selecting a first computer network element from amongst plural computer network elements of a computer network accessible by a network information service;
• and
• directing to the first computer network element a data message that corresponds to the received wireless data protocol message.

A system comprising:

• a wireless gateway;
• a first gateway cluster, the first gateway cluster associated with a first group of computer servers, each of the computer servers in the first group of computer servers having a different internet protocol address;
• and
• a second gateway cluster, the second gateway cluster associated with a second group of computer servers;
• wherein the wireless gateway is configured to decode previously encoded wireless data traffic packets to be sent to a selected computer server within one of the first and the second gateway clusters.

A method of processing wireless data traffic, the method comprising:

• receiving wireless data traffic at a wireless gateway;
• evaluating a data packet within the wireless data traffic at the wireless gateway to determine at least one of language information, user browser type information, and data content type information;
• and
• sending a data request to a particular computer server that is located at an internet protocol address, the particular computer server determined based on at least one of the language information, the user browser type information, and the data content type information.

A system comprising:

• a computer network input to receive an encoded wireless data packet including wireless data content;
• a decoding module responsive to the computer network input, the decoding module programmed to decode the encoded wireless data packet and to produce a decoded wireless data packet;
• and
• a logic module programmed to implement a set of rules, the logic module to apply the set of rules to the decoded wireless data packet to determine an internet protocol address identifying a remote computer network element to receive a communication of the wireless data content.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable media;
• a software program within the computer readable media, the software program including a logic routine to apply a set of rules to determine one of a plurality of internet addresses for directing a received wireless data protocol packet based on content of the wireless data packet;
• and
• wherein the computer readable media is selected from the set of a disk, tape or other magnetic, optical, semiconductor or electronic storage medium and a network, wireline, wireless or other communications medium.
