- network elements involved in the embodiments of the present application also include: DNS proxy (proxy), address resolution function (ARF) and DNS server (server).
- DNS proxy proxy
- ARF address resolution function
- DNS server server
- DNS proxy refers to enabling the DNS proxy function on the firewall, so that when there is no DNS server inside the LAN, the client inside the LAN can connect to the external DNS server through the firewall, and access the Internet (internet) through the correct DNS resolution of the external DNS server.
- the working mechanism of DNS proxy is as follows: The DNS client sends a DNS request message to the DNS proxy. At this time, the destination address of the message is the IP address of the DNS proxy. After the DNS proxy receives the message, it replaces the destination address in the message with the IP address of the DNS server, and then forwards the message to the DNS server according to the configured DNS server address. If multiple DNS server addresses are configured on the DNS proxy, the DNS proxy first sends the message to the first DNS server. If the first DNS server does not respond, the DNS client will resend the DNS request after waiting for the timeout After the DNS proxy receives the resent DNS request packet, it forwards it to the second DNS server, and so on, until a DNS server sends a response packet.
- the DNS server is responsible for resolving the domain name into an IP address. For example, the client sends a domain name query request to the DNS server, and the DNS server returns the IP address corresponding to the domain name, and the terminal device can access the domain name through the IP address.
- the function of the network element with the address resolution function can support the functions of DNS proxy and DNS server at the same time, or only support the function of DNS proxy or the function of DNS server.
- the current domain name access process is as follows: Take the terminal device accessing domain name A (for example, www.qq.com) as an example, when the terminal device accesses the domain name A, query whether the terminal device’s cache exists If the IP address corresponding to the domain name A exists, the terminal device can directly obtain the IP address and access the domain name A through the IP address; if it does not exist, the terminal device can send a domain name resolution request to the DNS server, and the domain name resolution request Carrying the domain name A, the DNS server returns the IP address corresponding to the domain name A, and the terminal device can access the domain name A through the IP address.
- domain name A for example, www.qq.com
- the terminal device After obtaining the IP address corresponding to domain name A, the terminal device generates and caches a DNS cache record.
- the DNS cache record is used to indicate the correspondence between the domain name A and the IP address.
- the terminal device also maintains a corresponding time to live (TTL) for the DNS cache record.
- TTL of the DNS cache record refers to the retention time of the DNS cache record in the cache of the terminal device. In this way, when the terminal device needs to access the domain name A in the DNS cache record again within the TTL of the DNS cache record, the terminal device can directly obtain the IP address corresponding to the domain name A according to the DNS cache record. When the TTL of the DNS cache record is exceeded, the terminal device needs to obtain the IP address corresponding to domain name A through the DNS server through the above process.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a terminal device requesting an IP address corresponding to a domain name after the initial establishment of a PDU session is completed.
- the core network allocates IP-3 to the terminal device during the initial establishment of the PDU session

- the IP addresses of the two application servers are IP-3A and IP-1 respectively.
- the application server with IP address IP-3A is deployed on MEC platform-1
- the application server with IP address IP-1 is deployed on MEC platform-2
- the distance between the deployment location of MEC platform-1 and the remote PSA Closer means a longer distance from the current position of the terminal device, while the deployment position of the MEC platform-1 is farther away from the remote PSA, and closer to the current position of the terminal device.
- the DNS service Since the DNS server does not perceive the current location of the terminal device, the DNS service receives the DNS query request from the terminal device from the remote PSA, according to the address affinity, and returns according to the requested domain name A to be closer to the remote PSA Therefore, the DNS server returns the address of the application server deployed on the MEC platform-1 (IP-3A in Figure 5), so that the terminal device cannot obtain the application server deployed on the MEC platform-2 The IP address of the terminal device cannot access nearby services through the application server deployed on the MEC platform-2. In addition, since the terminal device accesses the service through the remote application server, the time delay for the terminal device to access the service is increased, and the communication efficiency is reduced.
- the embodiment of the present application provides a method for discovering applications.
- the method is used to realize that the DNS server returns the IP address of the application server closer to the terminal device to the terminal device so that the terminal device can access local services nearby.
- the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also realize that after the DNS server returns the IP address of the application server closer to the terminal device to the terminal device, the service traffic can be selectively routed to the application platform where the application server is located.
