Repurposing Domain Name System as a Business Data Transport Layer

A system for repurposing a domain name system (DNS) as a business data transport layer, the system comprising:

• a data aggregation module configured to:
• receive, via a DNS server associated with a business data center, an Extended DNS (EDNS) packet routed to the DNS server from at least one telemetry sensor installed on an Internet of Things (IoT) device, the EDNS packet including a DNS address associated with the business data center and business telemetry data stored in at least one extension field of the EDNS packet, the business telemetry data being associated with the IoT device;
• and
• retrieve the business telemetry data from the EDNS packet;
• and
• a database configured to store at least the business telemetry data associated with the IoT device.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a method for repurposing a domain name system (DNS) as a business data transport layer, the method comprising:

• collecting, by at least one telemetry sensor installed on an Internet of Things (IoT) device, business telemetry data associated with the IoT device;
• generating, by the IoT device, an Extended DNS (EDNS) packet, the EDNS packet including a DNS address associated with a business data center and the business telemetry data stored in at least one extension field of the EDNS packet;
• and
• generating, by the IoT device, a DNS request to route the EDNS packet to a DNS server associated with the business data center.
