Abstract

Method for resolving name identifiers. Existing naming identifier resolution solutions give priority to one aspect, performance of a service or protection of privacy, over the other without it being possible to deviate therefrom. This lack of flexibility is detrimental to the user's quality of experience. This also impacts resource management for various communication equipment involved in the resolution of naming identifiers. The proposed solution makes it possible to give priority to performance or respecting privacy on a case-by-case basis. On the basis of an authorization to share a location of the equipment, the resolver gives priority to transmitting either a network address of a server associated with the naming identifier to be resolved requiring location information of the equipment, giving priority to performance, or a network address of a server associated with the naming identifier to be resolved not requiring location information of the equipment, giving priority to respecting privacy.
