OPTIMIZED REDIRECTION FOR NETWORK ARCHITECTURES
A system, computer readable medium and method for providing to a user device (20) location information of a data device that provides a specific asset, where the user device (20) is present in a network (32) that includes at least a serving node (36) and an address of the user device (20) is indicative of a gateway node (35) that is different from the serving node (36). The method includes receiving at the serving node (36) a first message from the user device (20), the first message including a request for the specific asset; sending the first message from the serving node (36) to the gateway node (35); receiving at the serving node (36) a second message from the gateway node (35), the second message including a first location of a first data device (44) that provides the specific asset; modifying at the serving node (36) the second message to include an indication about a second location of a second data device (46) that provides the specific asset, where the first location is different from the second location; and sending the modified second message including the second location to the user device (20) for accessing the specific asset.
