Name collision risk manager

Abstract:

Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computer-implemented methods for managing domain name space collisions by accessing information, such as a domain name string, corresponding to a domain name resolution request and response. Based on at least the domain name string, a type of use value associated with the request can be determined. Based on at least the type of use value, a name collision risk value for the request can be determined. If the name collision risk value indicates there is a specified risk of a domain name string collision, then a domain name collision mitigation strategy can be generated and/or implemented.
