1. A method of supporting communication between a service executed by an edge server and a mobile application, the method comprising:
receiving a transmission control protocol (TCP) handshake with an Internet Protocol (IP) anycast address from the mobile application, wherein the IP anycast address is associated with an application instance providing the service and the TCP handshake is to query for a presence of the application instance at the edge server;
replying to the TCP handshake with an IP unicast address for the service to be utilized for a transport layer security (TLS) session when the application instance is at the edge server, wherein the IP unicast address is associated with the application instance at the edge server; and
establishing the TLS session between the service and the mobile application using the IP unicast address.
