The present invention relates to a method for allocating an address of a data service offering server to a communication device such as a mobile services device or a SIM card. With the allocation, the server address is selected from a number of address identifiers. Each address identifier identifies a valid server independently of the current server configuration of the communication network. The server address can be combined out of a fixed and a variable portion. Moreover, the address identifiers can be updated, for example, by means of a so-called DNS server. The described server address allocation method improves the scalability of the communication system and offers an efficient measure for load distribution for both the data service offering application servers and for so-called DNS servers. Moreover, the invention relates to a corresponding communication device for allocating a server address, and to a corresponding communication system and computer program.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'affecter à un appareil de communication tel qu'un dispositif de services mobiles ou une carte SIM, une adresse de serveur de service de données. Cette affectation permet de sélectionner parmi plusieurs identificateurs d'adresse l'adresse de serveur. Chaque identificateur d'adresse identifie un serveur en cours de validité, quelle que soit la configuration courante de serveur du réseau de communication. L'adresse de serveur peut combiner une partie fixe et une partie variable. Les identificateurs d'adresse sont susceptibles de mise à jour, notamment au moyen d'un serveur DNS. Ce procédé d'affectation d'adresse de serveur, qui améliore les possibilités d'extension du système de communication, permet de mesurer de façon efficace la distribution de la charge dans le cas des serveurs d'application à services de données et dans le cas des serveurs DNS. L'invention concerne également, non seulement un appareil de communication servant à affecter une adresse de serveur, mais aussi un système de communication correspondant, et enfin un programme informatique à cet effet.
