Abstract
In various embodiments, an apparatus, a non-transitory computer-readable media, and a method are provided, involving a technique for: at a service node: receiving an indication of a receipt of a request that is transmitted by a first node via a domain name system (DNS) protocol, the request including an identifier for use in data traffic routing from the first node to a second node in a network; detecting the identifier included with the request; using the detected identifier, determining first path information that is configured for use in identifying one or more path segments that communicatively couple the first node to the second node; generating a response to the request, the response including the first path information; and transmitting the response so that the first path information is capable of being used in identifying at least one path segment in the one or more path segments for traffic data routing from the first node to the second node.
