Abstract
An approach is provided for selecting a network server. An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause, at least in part, the apparatus to load from one or more network servers configuration information of one or more network servers used by a service provider network. The apparatus is also caused to select a network server in the service provider network based at least in part on at least one of network server latency and the network server load. The apparatus is further caused to set the network server as default network server used for at least one of current and future session on one or more user equipment.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- loading, from one or more network servers, configuration information of one or more network servers used by a service provider network;
- selecting a network server in the service provider network based at least in part on at least one of network server latency and network server load;
- and
- causing, at least in part, setting of the network server as the default network server used for at least one of current and future session on one or more user equipment.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- load, from one or more network servers, configuration information of one or more network servers used by a service provider network;
- select a network server in the service provider network based at least in part on at least one of network server latency and the network server load;
- and
- cause, at least in part, the setting of the network server as default network server used for at least one of current and future session on one or more user equipment.
A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following:
- loading from one or more network servers, configuration information of one or more network servers, used by a service provider network;
- selecting a network server in the service provider network based at least in part on at least one of network server latency and network server load;
- and
- causing, at least in part, the setting of the network server as the default network server used for at least one of current and future session on one or more user equipment.
