Abstract
Example implementations described herein are directed to providing one or more service tags in a Domain name service (DNS) response to indicate the availability of user defined services for a particular peer node in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC). DNS clients can process the DNS response for the service tags and facilitate the selection of peer nodes for a User Equipment (UE) based on the processed service tag(s).
