AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the principle of proximity when terminal devices select application servers may result in the selection of unsuitable servers that cannot meet the business needs of the terminal devices.

Method used

By acquiring the characteristic parameters of candidate application servers and the network status of service links, network resources are used to better select target application servers. The characteristic parameters of application servers, such as remaining capacity and task processing efficiency, as well as the network status of service links, such as bandwidth and latency, are considered. The reference computing power is calculated using a formula to determine the target application server.

Benefits of technology

This improves the resource utilization of the target application server when executing terminal device services, thus enhancing the user experience.

Abstract

The embodiment of the present application provides a method and device for determining an application server. The method comprises the following steps: a first network element acquires a characteristic parameter of a candidate application server; the first network element acquires a network state of a service link, the service link being a link from a terminal to a DN where the candidate application server is located; and the first network element determines a target application server from the candidate application servers according to the characteristic parameter of the candidate application server and the network state of the service link. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the method of the present application can better utilize the resources in the network, and the target application server selected can better execute the service of the terminal device, thereby improving the user experience.
