Application: Dynamic border gateway protocol (BGP) host route generation based on domain name system (DNS) resolution (Patent ID: US20230421529A1)
The patent filed by Lumen Technologies Inc. introduces innovative tools and methods for dynamic BGP host route generation based on DNS resolution. The system receives a request from a user device to establish a communication link with an external device via a separate network, queries a DNS server for the corresponding IP address, and advertises the IP address or route to devices within the network. This process enables the establishment of a communication link between the user device and the external device based on the IP address or route obtained from DNS resolution. Additionally, the system performs cache updates by comparing IP addresses obtained from DNS with cached addresses, updating the cache accordingly, and sending BGP updates to withdraw outdated IP addresses from the network.
The method and system described in the patent involve utilizing a computing system to facilitate communication links between user devices and external devices through separate networks. By querying DNS servers for IP addresses based on URIs, advertising routes, and performing cache updates, the system ensures efficient and dynamic BGP host route generation. The patent outlines various scenarios where this technology can be applied, such as maintaining licensed states for third-party devices, SD-WAN setups, and VoIP services, regardless of changes in IP addresses or geographical locations. Overall, the patent introduces a comprehensive approach to optimizing communication links based on DNS resolution and BGP updates, enhancing network efficiency and adaptability.
