Abstract
The Generic Bootstrapping Architecture is used in a method for assigning the bootstrapping transaction ID so that a machine-to-machine server or other device can locate and communicate with a bootstrapping server function. The bootstrapping server function assigns the bootstrapping transaction ID and updates a DNS server with an entry that maps the bootstrapping transaction ID to a network node IP Address.
Claims20
A server comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving a request for registration of a device, the request for registration comprising a bootstrapping transaction identifier;
- performing a lookup with a domain name service server using the bootstrapping transaction identifier;
- receiving an internet protocol address of a network node based on the performed lookup;
- and
- sending a request for authentication of the device to the network node, the request for authentication comprising the bootstrapping transaction identifier.
A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to perform the instructions comprising:
- receiving a request for registration of a device, the request for registration comprising a bootstrapping transaction identifier;
- performing a lookup with a domain name service server using the bootstrapping transaction identifier;
- receiving an internet protocol address of a network node based on the performed lookup;
- and
- sending a request for authentication of the device to the network node, the request for authentication comprising the bootstrapping transaction identifier.
A method comprising:
- receiving a request for registration of a device, the request for registration comprising a bootstrapping transaction identifier;
- performing a lookup with a domain name service server using the bootstrapping transaction identifier;
- receiving an internet protocol address of a network node based on the performed lookup;
- and
- sending a request for authentication of the device to the network node, the request for authentication comprising the bootstrapping transaction identifier.
