System and method for intelligently managing sessions in a mobile network

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to read instructions from the memory that, during execution, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a trigger to select a peer node for a subscriber session;
• choosing a peer selector among one or more available peer selectors in response to the trigger;
• determining whether the chosen peer selector is associated with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN);
• in response to determining that the chosen peer selector is associated with the FQDN, determining whether a domain name system (DNS) server is configured;
• in response to determining that the DNS server is configured, requesting a peer list associated with the FQDN from the DNS server;
• and
• selecting, by the selection engine, the peer node from the peer list.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a selection engine comprising one or more hardware processors, cause the selection engine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a trigger to select a peer node for a subscriber session;
• choosing a peer selector among one or more available peer selectors in response to the trigger;
• determining whether the chosen peer selector is associated with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN);
• in response to determining that the chosen peer selector is associated with the FQDN, determining whether a domain name system (DNS) server is configured;
• in response to determining that the DNS server is configured, requesting a peer list associated with the FQDN from the DNS server;
• and
• selecting, by the selection engine, the peer node from the peer list.
