Abstract
There is provided a method performed by an entity for managing traffic between a network gateway and an application server. In response to a user equipment (UE) connecting to or disconnecting from the network gateway, a network prefix assigned to a DNS view is updated (102). The network prefix comprises one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses that each identify a UE that is connected to the network gateway and to which the DNS view is accessible. Traffic between the network gateway and the application server is steered according to the DNS view to which the updated network prefix is assigned.

1-23. (canceled)
A method performed by a computing device for managing traffic between a network gateway and an application server, the method comprising:
- updating a network prefix assigned to a domain name service (DNS) view in response to a user equipment (UE) connecting to or disconnecting from the network gateway;
- wherein the network prefix comprises one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses that each identify a UE that is connected to the network gateway and to which the DNS view is accessible;
- and
- wherein traffic between the network gateway and the application server is steered according to the DNS view to which the updated network prefix is assigned.
A computing device comprising:
- processing circuitry and memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the computing device is configured to:
- update a network prefix assigned to a domain name service (DNS) view in response to a user equipment (UE) connecting to or disconnecting from a network gateway;
- wherein the network prefix comprises one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses that each identify a UE that is connected to the network gateway and to which the DNS view is accessible;
- and
- wherein traffic between the network gateway and an application server is steered according to the DNS view to which the updated network prefix is assigned.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program product comprising instructions which, when executed on processing circuitry of a computing device, cause the processing circuitry to:
- update a network prefix assigned to a domain name service (DNS) view in response to a user equipment (UE) connecting to or disconnecting from the network gateway;
- wherein the network prefix comprises one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses that each identify a UE that is connected to the network gateway and to which the DNS view is accessible;
- and
- wherein traffic between the network gateway and the application server is steered according to the DNS view to which the updated network prefix is assigned.
