Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for performing domain resolution prior to dispatching a request. A request from an Application Server (AS) is received. The AS and a network node are present in a first network domain. At least one target network domain is determined based on at least one domain indicator in the request. The domain indicator being associated with at least a part of the request, wherein the target network domain is one of: the first network domain and a second network domain. Then, the at least part of the request is dispatched, to at least one subscriber server present in the determined target network domain(s).
Claims14
A method, performed by a network node for dispatching a request, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from an Application Server (AS), wherein said AS and said network node are present in a first network domain;
- performing domain resolution by determining at least one target network domain based on at least one domain indicator in said request, wherein said domain indicator being associated with at least a part of said request, wherein said target network domain is one of:
- said first network domain and a second network domain, the domain indicator indicating to which of the first network domain and the second network domain the request is intended;
- and
- dispatching said at least part of said request, to at least one subscriber server present in said determined target network domain(s).
A domain resolution unit adapted to dispatch a request, the domain resolution unit comprising:
- a first receiving unit, adapted to receive a request from an Application Server (AS), wherein said AS and said domain resolution unit are present in a first network domain;
- a determining unit, adapted to perform domain resolution by determining at least one target network domain based on at least one domain indicator in said request, wherein said domain indicator being associated with at least a part of said request, wherein said target network domain is one of:
- a said first network domain and a second network domain, the domain indicator indicating to which network domain the request is intended;
- and
- a dispatching unit, adapted to dispatch, said at least part of said request, to at least one subscriber server present in said determined target network domain(s).
