Abstract:
Systems and methods implemented by an application executed on a user device for service discovery and connectivity include, responsive to joining a new network, performing a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) operation to obtain network configuration parameters; receiving a DHCP message in response with the network configuration parameters; via an application executed on the user device for service discovery and connectivity analyzing data in the DHCP message to determine one or more forwarding profiles on the new network, wherein the one or more forwarding profiles are based on a location or trust of the new network; and automatically installing the determined one or more forwarding profiles.
