Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for implementing local and wide network suppression of query requests in zero-configuration networking. Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for implementing suppression of query packets zero-configuration networking over local and wide networks by utilizing agents, application programming interfaces (API), and a controller. The suppression can be determined based on two time periods, a processing period and a suppression period.

Claims (43)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at an gateway device, a multi domain name service message, wherein the multi domain name service message includes a tuple of at least a service type, IPv4 address and IPv6 address;

first determining, at the gateway device, whether the multi domain name service message is a query request;

in response to determining the multi domain name service message is a query request, second determining whether the message is a multicast request or a unicast request;

in response to determining the multi domain name service message is a multicast request, third determining a message type;

in response to determining the message type is a standard message type, fourth determining whether the multi domain name service message is in a suppression period or a processing period; and

in response to determining the multi domain name service message is in the suppression period, suppress the multi domain name service message;

wherein the suppressing period is a period during which the tuple of the multi domain name service message cannot be processed, and the processing period is period during which the tuple can be processed.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the multi domain name service message is in a processing period.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the processing period is a predetermined time period.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining whether the tuple is redundant and suppressing the multi domain name service message.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining whether the tuple is new and processing the multi domain name service message.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising in response to determining the multi domain name service message is not a query message, ignore suppression of the multi domain name service message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising in response to determining the multi domain name service message is not a multicast request, ignore suppression of the multi domain name service message.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising in response to determining the message type is an any message, ignore suppressing of the multi domain name service message.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing instructions which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a multi domain name service message, wherein the multi domain name service message includes a tuple of at least a service type, IPv4 address and IPv6 address;

first determining whether the multi domain name service message is a query request;

in response to the determination that the multi domain name service message is a query request, second determining whether the message is a multicast request or a unicast request;

in response to the determination that the multi domain name service message is a multicast request, third determining a message type;

in response to the determination that the message type is a standard message type, fourth determining whether the multi domain name service message is in a suppression period or in a processing period; and

in response to determining the multi domain name service message is in the suppression period, suppress the multi domain name service message;

wherein the suppressing period is a period during which the tuple of the multi domain name service message cannot be processed, and the processing period is period during which the tuple can be processed.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to determine the multi domain name service message is in a processing period.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the processing period is a predetermined time period.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to determine whether the tuple is redundant and suppressing the multi domain name service message.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to determine whether the tuple is new and processing the multi domain name service message.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to in response to the determination that the multi domain name service message is not a query message, ignore suppression of the multi domain name service message.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to in response to the determination the multi domain name service message is not a multicast request, ignore suppression of the multi domain name service message.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to in response to the determination the message type is an any message, ignore suppressing of the multi domain name service message.

17. A gateway device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

receive a multi domain name service message, wherein the multi domain name service message includes a tuple of at least a service type, IPv4 address and IPv6 address;

first determining whether the multi domain name service message is a query request;

in response to the determination that the multi domain name service message is a query request, second determining whether the message is a multicast request or a unicast message;

in response to the determination that the multi domain name service message is a multicast request, third determining a message type;

in response to determining that the message type is a standard message type, fourth determining whether the multi domain name service message is in a suppression period or a processing period; and

when the multi domain name service message is in the suppression period, suppress the multi domain name service message;

wherein the suppressing period is a period during which the tuple of the multi domain name service message cannot be processed, and the processing period is period during which the tuple can be processed.

18. The gateway device of claim 17 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to determine the multi domain name service message is in a processing period.

19. The gateway device of claim 18 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to determine whether the tuple is redundant and suppressing the multi domain name service message.

20. The gateway device of claim 18 , storing further instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to determine whether the tuple is new and processing the multi domain name service message.
