Embodiment Construction

[0026] Some embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the invention are shown. Indeed, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like reference numbers refer to like elements throughout.

[0027] As used herein, a "network interface" refers to a communication interface implemented on a computing device for accessing network resources through a network connection. A "network resource" may include any computing device accessible over a network, data accessible from a networked computing device, and the like. A network interface may be implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or some combination thereof, and thus may comprise a physical hardware interface or a vi...

Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for determining a network interface to access a network resource. An apparatus may comprise a processor configured to receive a request for resolution of a domain name. The processor may be further configured to access maintained domain name suffix information. The maintained domain name suffix information may comprise a plurality of domain name suffix entries. The processor may additionally be configured to search the maintained domain name suffix information for one or more domain name suffix entries corresponding to the domain name to determine one or more network interfaces through which the domain name is accessible. The processor may also be configured to select a network interface for resolving the domain name into a network address from the one or more determined network interfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to mobile communication technologies, and more particularly, to methods, apparatus and computer program products for determining a network interface for accessing network resources. Background technique [0002] The modern communication era has brought about a huge expansion of wired and wireless networks. Driven by consumer demand, computer networks, television networks, and telephone networks are undergoing an unprecedented technological expansion. Wireless and mobile networking technologies have addressed related consumer demands while providing more flexibility and timeliness in information transfer. [0003] Current and future networking technologies and evolving computing devices using networking technologies continue to facilitate ease of information transfer and convenience to users. Many computing devices are currently configured to access network resources, such as web pages, for example...
