Abstract: A method is provided for analyzing radio spectrum solutions of a wireless communication service. The method may include obtaining address information of two end points of a wireless communication path of the wireless communication service and performing a check on the address information based on a database system configured to store valid address information and associated geographical information. The method may also include obtaining location related information including a distance between the two end points and determining rain zone information based on the address information and associated geographical information, retrieving radio equipment information on a plurality of radio equipment, and determining a plurality of available wireless communication solutions based on the location related information and the radio equipment information. Each solution may include at least one of a radio spectrum availability and a throughput.

Abstract: A method of providing Internet hosting and access is described. A database is used to store hosting and access descriptors. The hosting and access descriptors describe the configuration of Internet services such as HTTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, and FTP for a hosted site. When a client over the Internet, or other network, requests a service from the hosted domain, the DNS system is interfaced to the database to select a computer to use to support the requested access. The database can also be used to store load information about the computers available for providing Internet hosting and access. Once the DNS system selects a computer and returns the IP address of the computer to the client, the subsequent communications are between the client and the selected computer directly. The selected computer can access the database to retrieve configuration information to respond to service requests from clients.
