Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of computer software, and, more specifically, to caching DNS information.
- computers on the network are assigned unique identifiers that may be mapped to a textual name referred to as a domain name.
- Computer users often only have knowledge of the domain name and not the unique identifier.
- the unique identifier of the computer you are contacting must be ascertained.
- network routers forward the identifier request to other routers until a domain name server that maintains the desired information is located.
- Existing schemes can waste time forwarding the identifier request from one router to another router resulting in an increase of traffic on the network and slowing down the time it takes to access and retrieve any information on the internet.
- a network also may include resources, such as printers, modems, file servers, etc., and may also include services, such as electronic mail.
- a network can be a small system that is physically connected by cables (a local area network or "LAN”), or several separate networks can be connected together to form a larger network (a wide area network or "WAN").
- LAN local area network
- WAN wide area network
- Other types of networks include the internet, tel-com networks, the World Wide Web, intranets, extranets, wireless networks, and other networks over which electronic, digital, and /or analog data may be communicated .
- Computer systems sometimes rely on a server computer system to provide information to requesting computers on a network. When there are a large number of requesting computers, it may be necessary to have more than one server computer system to handle the requests. In prior art systems, there is a problem in efficiently directing requests to the correct server in a multiple server system.
- the Internet is a worldwide network of interconnected computers.
- An Internet client accesses a computer on the network via an Internet provider.
- An Internet provider is an organization that provides a client (e.g., an individual or other organization) with access to the Internet (via analog telephone line or Integrated Services Digital Network line, for example).
- a client can, for example, read information from, download a file from or send an electronic mail message to another computer /client using the Internet.
- WWW World Wide Web
- the components of the WWW include browser software, network links, servers, and WWW protocols.
- the browser software, or browser is a user-friendly interface (i.e., front-end) that simplifies access to the Internet.
- a browser allows a client to communicate a request without having to learn a complicated command syntax, for example.
- a browser typically provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying information and receiving input. Examples of browsers currently available include Mosaic, Netscape Navigator and Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Cello.
- HTTP Hypertext Transport Protocol
- HTTP has communication methods that allow clients to request data from a server and send information to the server.
- the client contacts the HTTP server and transmits the request to the HTTP server.
- the request contains the communication method requested for the transaction (e.g., GET an object from the server or POST data to an object on the server).
- the HTTP server responds to the client by sending a status of the request and the requested information. The connection is then terminated between the client and the HTTP server.
- a client request therefore, consists of establishing a connection between the client and the HTTP server, performing the request, and terminating the connection.
- the HTTP server does not retain any information about the request after the connection has been terminated.
- HTTP is, therefore, a stateless protocol. That is, a client can make several requests of an HTTP server, but each individual request is treated independent of any other request.
- the server has no recollection of any previous request.
- An addressing scheme is employed to identify Internet resources (e.g., HTTP server, file or program). This addressing scheme is called Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
- a URL contains the protocol to use when accessing the server (e.g., HTTP), the Internet domain name of the site on which the server is running, the port number of the server, and the location of the resource in the file structure of the server.
- Hypertext provides the ability to create links within a document to move directly to other information. To activate the link, it is only necessary to click on the hypertext link (e.g., a word or phrase).
- the hypertext link can be to information stored on a different site than the one that supplied the current information.
- a URL is associated with the link to identify the location of the additional information. When the link is activated, the client's browser uses the link to access the data at the site specified in the URL.
- the HTTP server locates the file and sends it to the client.
- An HTTP server also has the ability to delegate work to gateway programs.
- CGI Common Gateway Interface
- a gateway program is referenced using a URL.
- the HTTP server activates the program specified in the URL and uses CGI mechanisms to pass program data sent by the client to the gateway program.
- Data is passed from the server to the gateway program via command-line arguments, standard input, or environment variables.
- the gateway program processes the data and returns its response to the server using CGI (via standard input, for example).
- the server forwards the data to the client using the HTTP.
- a browser displays information to a client/user as pages or documents (referred to as "web pages" or "web sites").
- a language is used to define the format for a page to be displayed in the WWW.
- the language is called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
- HTML Hypertext Markup Language
- a WWW page is transmitted to a client as an HTML document.
- the browser executing at the client parses the document and displays a page based on the information in the HTML document.
- HTML is a structural language that is comprised of HTML elements that are nested within each other.
- An HTML document is a text file in which certain strings of characters, called tags, mark regions of the document and assign special meaning to them. These regions are called HTML elements.
- Each element has a name, or tag.
- An element can have attributes that specify properties of the element. Blocks or components include unordered list, text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, for example. Each block has properties such as name, type, and value. The following provides an example of the structure of an HTML document:
- Each HTML element is delimited by the pair of characters " ⁇ " and ">".
- the name of the HTML element is contained within the delimiting characters.
- the combination of the name and delimiting characters is referred to as a marker, or tag.
- Each element is identified by its marker. In most cases, each element has a start and ending marker. The ending marker is identified by the inclusion of an another character, "/" that follows the " ⁇ " character.
- HTML is a hierarchical language. With the exception of the HTML element, all other elements are contained within another element.
- the HTML element encompasses the entire document. It identifies the enclosed text as an HTML document.
- the HEAD element is contained within the HTML element and includes information about the HTML document.
- the BODY element is contained within the HTML. The BODY element contains all of the text and other information to be displayed. Other HTML elements are described in HTML reference manuals.
- a computer user navigates the internet or web from a browser on a computer system.
- the user enters the host name (or domain name) of the web site into the browser. This can be accomplished by clicking on a link, by activating a tool bar button, or by manually entering a name or address into a location field and pressing "enter".
- the names that a browser client uses are known as host names, such as www.sun.com for example.
- the name that is entered is not the actual Internet Protocol (IP) address of the intended web server.
- IP Internet Protocol
- the actual IP address is a string of numbers that uniquely locate the web server that provides the web site data.
- a worldwide distributed database system called the "Domain Name System (DNS)" provides the mapping between server names and the associated IP addresses.
- DNS Domain Name System
- Each client is configured with, or otherwise learns about, a name server that is willing to answer its queries (for mapping a domain name to an IP address, or vice versa).
- a name server is referred to as the "local name server” for that host.
- Client application software such as a web browser, also use a local library, called the “DNS resolver" to obtain the translation from server name to IP address. The resolver in turn contacts a predetermined local DNS name server to obtain the translation.
- DNS name servers can maintain caches of previously resolved names. More specifically, name resolution processes typically require two hosts on the client side. Consider a user working on "asha.eng.sun.com” that wants to get the address of "whitehouse.gov”.
- the client browser will talk with a local resolver (a library attached to the browser process itself, in the current example running on asha.eng.sun.com).
- the local resolver will go to one of a relatively small number of local name servers, e.g. "ns.sun.com".
- ns.sun.com is called the client side name server.
- the client side name server will communicate with the outside world to determine the IP address of whitehouse.gov, and forward this information to the resolver that is part of the browser process.
- DNS is a global network of servers that translate host names into numerical addresses (known as Internet Protocol, or IP addresses) and provides IP address to name mapping as well.
- a DNS server consists of a name server and a resolver. The name server provides responses to resolver requests when it can by supplying the correct address for the host name supplied by the resolver.
- the resolver searches its cache to see if it already has a valid (unexpired) mapping available. If the cache has a valid mapping, it returns the IP address to the browser at step 116. If the mapping is not in cache, the resolver forwards the request to the local name server at step 106.
- All name servers know about at least one other name server that provides the DNS service for the root (.) domain.
- the local name server contacts the name server for the any known domain. For example, if the host name is "www.java.sun.com", and the local name server does not know the address for the name server "java.sun.com”, it will check to see if it knows the next level domain, i.e., the address for "sun.com”. If the local name server does not know the address for "sun.com”, it will check to see if it knows the address of next level domain, i.e., ".com”. If the local name server does not know the address for ".com", it will contact the root name server ".”.
- the local name server will obtain the address for the complete domain from the name server contacted (if that name server knows the address). Otherwise, at step 110, the local name server will obtain the address for the next level of the domain from the contacted name server. For example, if the local name server contacted the name server for ".com" and that name server does not know the full address, the ".com" name server will return the domain address for "sun.com". Steps 108 and 110 are then repeated until the complete domain address is obtained. Continuing with the above example, the local name server would contact the "java.com” name server and obtain the address for "java.sun.com".
- the local name server would then contact the name server for "java.sun.com” and obtain the address for "www.java.sun.com”.
- routing network routers
- the local name server can contact the name server (e.g., "sun.com”) directly, without repeating the communication with the root domain server or with intermediate name servers (e.g., the ".com” name server).
- the IP address is returned to the browser. Once the IP address is known, the browser communicates with the web server at that address to retrieve the requested web page or other information.
- Clients Cli 212 and Cl2 214 are part of the SUN network 200 that utilizes local name server DNSi 220.
- Clients CI3 216 and CI4 218 are part on the NSCP network 204 that utilizes local name server DNS2 222. If client Cl 212 requests information regarding an IP address on the SYDNEY 2000 network 208 in Sydney, Australia, the request is processed at the SYDNEY 2000 208 network's local name server ns.syd.au 224.
- Routers 210 would forward the request from Cli to the local name servers 220 that forwards the request through routers 210 on the internet 206 until it reaches the SYDNEY 2000 network 208 and name server 224. The request is then transmitted back along the same route through routers 210 until it returns back to local name server 220 where it is cached.
- Networks may be divided up into layers. For example, one layer may provide for the forwarding of information from one location to another, referred to as the network layer, and another layer may provide for the parsing and processing of the information passed across the network, referred to as the application layer.
- Name resolution as provided by the domain name system (DNS) is an application layer protocol.
- Network routers 210 are only concerned with the network layer protocol and forward the DNS request to its desired destination. Consequently, routers 210 don't parse or process the information that they forward in packets.
- Prior art methods for reducing network traffic have provided methods for caching web pages and HTML information. Two such prior art methods are referred to as Active Networks and Transparent Proxies.
- Routers are dedicated machines for forwarding and switching traffic as quickly as possible.
- specific routers are configured to process packets of web and other non-DNS information.
- Specific geographic locations are chosen to place the specially configured routers. Consequently, the performance of an Active Network is based on the placement strategy of the updated routers.
- Transparent Proxies are used mostly by large corporations and internet service providers for reducing their web traffic.
- the domain administrator configures the routers so that all of the web requests (identified by a port number, e.g., 80) are automatically diverted to a proxy server ("transparent proxy").
- a proxy server or proxy is a server that carries out requests transmitted to it (i.e., from a client), keeping copies of fetched documents or information for some time so that they can be accessed more quickly in the future, speeding up access for commonly requested information.
- This storing and retrieval of information and fetched documents by the proxy is referred to as caching and the information maintained in the proxy is referred to as a cache or proxy cache.
- the proxy sends a request to the appropriate web server (which may be processed through several routers) that then returns the information to the proxy for caching. When the proxy gets the desired information, it provides this information to the requesting client.
- IP internet protocol
- DNS domain name system
- a client When a client requests a name server to translate a domain name into an IP address, the requests are forwarded from one network router to another network router until a name server that maintains the desired information is located.
- the network routers do not examine the information, but merely forward the information along the pathway to the destination name server.
- One or more embodiments of the invention provide for updated routers that recognize when the information consists of DNS traffic, parses the information, caches the address information (if any), and then continues to forward the desired information back to the name server. Consequently, when another request for similar address information is forwarded to a router, the router can provide the response to the requestor instead of forwarding the request to a distant name server. In this manner, routers intercept DNS traffic and cache DNS information, allowing clients that utilize different name servers to benefit from the cached information. Such updated routers reduce the latency in DNS responses and reduce network traffic.

- Monitor 317 is a type of monitor suitable for displaying graphic images.
- Computer 300 may also include a communication interface 320 coupled to bus 318.
- Communication interface 320 provides a two-way data communication coupling via a network link 321 to a local network 322.
- communication interface 320 is an integrated services digital network (ISDN) card or a modem
- ISDN integrated services digital network
- communication interface 320 provides a data communication connection to the corresponding type of telephone line, which comprises part of network link 321.
- ISDN integrated services digital network
- LAN local area network
- Wireless links are also possible.
- communication interface 320 sends and receives electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals which carry digital data streams representing various types of information.
- Network link 321 typically provides data communication through one or more networks to other data devices.
- network link 321 may provide a connection through local network 322 to local server computer 323 or to data equipment operated by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) 324.
- ISP 324 in turn provides data communication services through the world wide packet data communication network now commonly referred to as the "Internet" 325.
- Internet 325 uses electrical, electromagnetic or optical signals which carry digital data streams.
- the signals through the various networks and the signals on network link 321 and through communication interface 320, which carry the digital data to and from computer 300, are exemplary forms of carrier waves transporting the information.
- Computer 300 can send messages and receive data, including program code, through the network(s), network link 321, and communication interface 320.
- remote server computer 326 might transmit a requested code for an application program through Internet 325, ISP 324, local network 322 and communication interface 320.

- Application code may be embodied in any form of computer program product.
- a computer program product comprises a medium configured to store or transport computer readable code, or in which computer readable code may be embedded.
- Some examples of computer program products are CD-ROM disks, ROM cards, floppy disks, magnetic tapes, computer hard drives, servers on a network, and carrier waves.
- One or more embodiments of the invention may be described by examining the layered model of networking and the peer relationships between the different layers.
- a peer relationship exists between each router that is connected by some type of wire.
- DNS entities e.g., DNS resolvers and the local name servers
- the routers at the network layer do not examine the information from application layer protocols.
- the routers merely transparently transfer the information between DNS clients and DNS servers.
- the layering model of networks is violated. DNS traffic is communicated from one machine to another machine through the use of name service ports.
- DNS traffic commonly arrives from and is transmitted to a specific DNS port (e.g., port 53). Consequently, based on the port information that is present in all IP packets, the routers have the ability to identify when DNS traffic is being transmitted versus when web or other traffic is being transmitted.
- the routers When an intermediate router (or hop in the network protocol layer) identifies that DNS information is in the packet it is transmitting across the internet, the routers violate the layering model and examine the information in the packet as if the router were a member of the application protocol. The information is then parsed and cached. Thus, the routers snoop on the DNS replies from a name-server and cache the intercepted replies. The routers also intercept DNS requests, and determine if the request can be served from the cache. If the cache contains the requested information, the router provides the response to the DNS query. If the cache does not contain the requested information, the router forwards the request to the next router or hop along the path to the name server.
- the resolver forwards the request to the local name server, and at step 108, the name server of the lowest level domain name is contacted.
- the forwarding step 106 and the contacting step 108 are processed through routers that may intercept the transmissions.
- the routers examine the packet of information from the intercepted transmissions and store any necessary information in cache. Further, when the information is obtained from the name server and transmitted back to the local name server at step 110, in one or more embodiments of the invention, the routers again intercept the transmission, parse the information, and cache the address information as it passes by on its way to the local name server.
- Figure 5 demonstrates the process performed by an updated router according to one or more embodiments of the invention.
- the process starts at step 500.
- the router examines the port information to determine if the current information is DNS traffic or some other type of traffic (e.g., web traffic). If the information is not DNS traffic, the router merely performs as normal and forwards the request to the next hop to its destination at step 512.
- DNS traffic or some other type of traffic (e.g., web traffic).
- the router parses the information at step 504.
- the router determines if the parsed information (e.g., the requested address information) is in its cache. If the information is not in its cache, the router stores the relevant information (if any) in its cache at step 510 and forwards the request to the next hop in the information's path at step 512. If the information is in the router's cache, the router returns the requested information to the requestor at step 508. In this manner, the updated routers maintain their own cache and are capable of processing DNS translation requests.
- the router will automatically forward the DNS information to a preconfigured host. Routers are currently configured to recognize types of internet traffic and forward specified types of internet traffic to a specific location or host. Once the host receives the information, the host executes the remaining steps 504-514. For example, the host parses the information at step 504 and searches its own cache for valid information at step 506. If there is any information to store in the cache (i.e., the DNS information is being returned), the information is stored in the host's cache at step 510. In such an embodiment, the router classifies and diverts packets to the configured host, and the host performs all additional functionality.
- one or more of the routers 210 may be modified as defined in Figure 4, to intercept, parse, and cache DNS information.
- routers 404 and 406 may be updated. Consequently, when Cli 212 requests a DNS translation from ns.syd.au 224, the request is forwarded through route 400 along routers 210 and updated routers 404 and 406. However, updated router 404 determines that it is DNS traffic, violates its network layer, and intercepts the request. Router 404 parses the requested information and determines if it is in its cache. If the requested information is in its cache, router 404 returns the result back to Cli 212 (along route 400).
- Router 406 upon determining that the transmission is DNS traffic, intercepts the request and searches its cache. Upon determining that the relevant information is not in its cache, router 406 forwards the request to the next hop in pathway 400. The request is forwarded until it reaches the local name server ns.syd.au 224. Alternatively, as described above, in one or more embodiments, the router forwards the request (if it is DNS traffic) to a configured host that maintains the cache and processing capabilities.
- the request is processed by ns.syd.au 224 and returned back to Cli 212 along path 400.
- router 406 intercepts the request, the router or configured host parses the address information, and stores the address information in cache. Router 406 then forwards the results to the next hop along path 400. Each updated router or configured host along path 400 will store the result in its cache.
- CI4 requests a similar DNS translation
- the request would be forwarded along route 402.
- router 406 would identify the request as DNS traffic
- router 406 intercepts the request
- router 406 or a configured host parses the request, searches cache, and returns the requested information back to the previous hop on pathway 402. Consequently, the request by CI4 is serviced locally at router 406 or the configured host and does not need to be serviced in Australia at ns.syd.au 224.
- the updated routers perform additional processing from other routers.
- the processing by the routers as described above and illustrated in Figure 5, includes viewing a portion of the DNS traffic, parsing the information, maintaining a database for cache storage, and searching cache for the information.
- Some DNS name servers return different answers for client requests for the same host name. Such a response may be based on load-balancing considerations (e.g., the attempt to balance network traffic across multiple servers), or it may be chosen to direct the clients to "nearby" hosts. Use of such schemes may be less effective with the transparent DNS caching according to one or more embodiments of the invention. Some schemes provide for strategic geographic placement of cacheable data (e.g., routers that may cache web traffic) in order to provide the information for the highest number of clients possible.
- cacheable data e.g., routers that may cache web traffic
