    Abstract: A method in which a communication device can be configured with a MAC address so that when the user logs into a network environment using a communication device from among a number of communication devices a MAC address is assigned to the user and is specific to the user. The MAC address assignment can be used for pairing with a communication device assigned to the user (e.g. a near-field communication device). A database containing MAC addresses can be connected to communication devices through a network and can provide user-specific MAC addresses that are readable into or otherwise transmittable to a predetermined communication device when a user logs into the network. The database can be managed by a server or other computer device of the network.

    Abstract: A domain name address obtaining method includes: in a case that a first condition is met, performing a related operation of refreshing a domain name address record. The first condition includes at least one of: confirming that an obtained DNS address is changed; occurring a PDU session relocation; confirming that an obtained IP address is changed; a first DNN being no longer available; a second DNN being available; a terminal moving from a first area to a second area; the terminal moving out of the first area; the terminal moving to the second area; a first indication being received; the terminal being handed over; or the terminal being in a connected state. The first area includes at least one of: a serving area of a first local service, a serving area of a non-local service, or an available area of the first DNN.

    Abstract: Techniques and architecture are described for service and/or application specific underlay path selection in fabric access networks. An egress tunnel router (ETR) registers service requirements of a connected application server, e.g., an end point known by host/device detection, config, or CDC type protocols, to a fabric control plane, e.g., a map server/map resolver (MSMR). The fabric control plane, while replying to a map request from an ingress tunnel router (ITR), sends service parameters in the map reply. While installing a tunnel forwarding path in hardware, i.e., map cache, the ITR may utilize a probing mechanism to ensure that the ITR chooses the right underlay adjacency, e.g., routing locator(s) (RLOC(s)), that can satisfy the service requirements provided by the fabric control plane. Only RLOC(s) that comply with the service requirements are installed in the map cache along with the required service parameters.
