Abstract
A method for enabling traffic acceleration in a mobile telecommunication network. The method includes the steps of receiving, at a Radio Network Node, a reply message from a content delivery provider located outside the mobile telecommunication network; intercepting the reply message; extracting a token from the reply message; comparing the token with a stored token in the Radio Network Node; replacing in the reply message, an Internet protocol IP address of a content delivery provider server with a preset IP address corresponding to an acceleration edge server in the mobile network, when there is a match between the token and the stored token; and sending from the Radio Network Node the modified reply message to a mobile terminal.
Claims16
A method for enabling traffic acceleration in a mobile telecommunication network, the method comprising the following steps:
- receiving, at a Radio Network Node, a name resolution reply message from a content delivery provider located outside the mobile telecommunication network;
- intercepting the reply message;
- extracting a token from the reply message;
- comparing the token with a stored token in the Radio Network Node;
- replacing in the reply message, an Internet protocol IP address of a content delivery provider server with a preset IP address corresponding to an acceleration edge server in the mobile network, when there is a match between the token and the stored token;
- and
- sending from the Radio Network Node the modified reply message to a mobile terminal.
A Radio Network Node of a mobile telecommunication network, the Radio Network Node being configured to transfer a name resolution reply message from a content delivery provider outside the mobile communication network to a mobile terminal connected to the mobile telecommunication network, the Radio Network Node comprising:
- means configured to receive the reply message;
- means configured to extract a token from the reply message, wherein the token was introduced into the reply message by the content delivery provider, wherein the means is configured to intercept the reply message when arriving from the content delivery provider, compare the token with a stored token, and replace in the reply message an Internet protocol IP address of a content delivery provider server with a preset IP address corresponding to an acceleration edge server in the mobile network, when there is a match between the token and the stored token;
- and
- means configured to send to the mobile terminal the modified reply message with the preset IP address instead of the content delivery provider IP address.
Article for manufacture comprising a program storage having computer readable program code embodied therein for enabling traffic acceleration in a mobile telecommunication network, comprising:
- computer readable program code to receive a reply message from a content delivery provider;
- computer readable program code to intercept the reply message when arriving from the content delivery provider, extract a token from the reply message, compare the token with a stored token, and replace in the reply message an Internet protocol IP address of a content delivery provider server with a preset IP address corresponding to an acceleration edge server in the mobile network, when there is a match between the token and the stored token;
- and
- computer readable program code to send to the mobile terminal the modified reply message with the preset IP address instead of the content delivery provider IP address.
