Abstract
Some examples relate to controlling network traffic pertaining to a domain name based on a Domain Name System-Internet Protocol address (DNS-IP) mapping, An example includes receiving, in a cloud computing system, a local DNS-IP mapping for a domain name from respective Access Points (APs) in a virtual local area network (VLAN) along with geographical information of respective APs; generating a global DNS-IP mapping database comprising the local DNS-IP mapping for the domain name received from respective APs in the VLAN along with geographical information of respective APs, in the cloud computing system; and determining appropriate APs to distribute the global DNS-IP mapping, based on location information of respective APs.
