Method and system for correlation of internet application domain identities and network device identifiers

摘要

System and methods for determining a relationship between an application-level identifier and a network-level identifier are provided. In one implementation, a discovery server receives a data request that includes an application-level identifier and a transitory network-level identifier. Based on the transitory network-level identifier, the discovery server determines a stable network-level identifier, and further maps the application-level identifier to the stable network-level identifier.
