METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR ACTIVELY DISCOVERING AND TRACKING ADDRESSES ASSOCIATED WITH 4G SERVICE ENDPOINTS

Abstract:

A method for discovering and tracking addresses associated with 4G service endpoints includes receiving, from a requesting node, a first domain name system (DNS) resolution or monitoring request including a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a 5G service endpoint. The method further includes querying a DNS server using the FQDN from the first DNS resolution request. The method further includes receiving, from the DNS server, a first response including an address associated with the 4G service endpoint and storing the address associated with the 4G service endpoint in a database. The method further includes communicating the address associated with the 4G service endpoint to the requesting node. The method further includes monitoring the FQDN for changes in address associated with the FQDN. The method further includes notifying the requesting node of the changes in address associated with the FQDN.
