    Abstract: Embodiments enable seamless Wi-Fi roaming by providing a user with a single username that is associated with a set of resources in the seamless network that includes different Wi-Fi networks (e.g., Wi-Fi networks with different domain names). As a user travels from a first access point in a first Wi-Fi network to a second access point in a second Wi-Fi network within the seamless network, network elements in the seamless network may recognize the user's single username as an already established session (e.g., with the first access point) and direct traffic accordingly to the second access point. Embodiments also satisfy business requirements by updating accounting data accordingly by indicating that the user accessed the seamless network from the first Wi-Fi network. Embodiments allow a user roaming on the seamless network to experience the policies and network requirements associated with the Wi-Fi domain of the second access point.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for performing domain name system (DNS) support on public resolvers. For instance, an electronic device may send a query to a local DNS resolver. The electronic device may then receive an answer from the local DNS resolver that includes a pattern. Using the answer, the electronic device may generate a DNS packet that includes at least the answer and a query for a first Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a first IP version, such as IPv6. The electronic device may then send the DNS packet to a public DNS resolver. Using the DNS packet, the public DNS resolver may generate a synthesized IP address associated with the first IP version. For example, the public DNS resolver may identify a second IP address associated with a second IP version, such as IPv4, and generate the synthesized IP address using the second IP address and the answer.

    Abstract: A system for distributed domain name address resolution, including top-level domain name address resolution, and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the system, a blockchain stores distributed domain names with respective Internet Protocol address information. A smart contract, which defines shared logic to execute operations on the blockchain, runs on the blockchain. With respect to distributed domain names, the system may perform read operations to identify the Internet Protocol address information, create operations to create a new distributed domain name with respective Internet Protocol address information, delete operations to remove a distributed domain name, and update operations to update the mapping between a distributed domain name and the respective Internet Protocol address information.

    Abstract: A server computer includes a network communications interface, a memory configured to store a web page having an IP address, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, via the network communications interface, a request for the web page. The request includes the IP address. The processor is also configured to identify a set of domain names referenced by the web page; resolve the set of domain names into a set of IP addresses; and transmit, in response to the request for the web page and via the network communications interface, a content and format of the web page. The content of the web page includes the set of IP addresses.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for out-of-band communications in the domain name system (DNS) are disclosed. Embodiments include a system for negotiating DNS services in the DNS. The system includes an in-band communication channel connecting a first party and a second party, and one or more out-of-band communication channels connecting the first party and the second party. The first party performs messaging for the DNS services with the second party using the in-band communication channel. Further, the first party advertises terms of the DNS service offered by the second party using the one or more out-of-band communication channels.
