Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for providing precise and custom location based service discovery application for wired and wireless devices.

The network device also identifies a first region including the location of the client device, and identifies at least one network device associated with the first region. Responsive at least to determining that the at least one network device is associated with the first region that comprises the location of the client device, the network device selects the at least one network device, from a set of network devices, for presenting as an available resource to the client device.
