Claim 10:
11. A method of supporting communication between a mobile application executed by a mobile device and an edge service executed at an edge server, the method comprising:
sending a transmission control protocol (TCP) handshake with an Internet Protocol (IP) anycast address to the edge service, wherein the IP anycast address is associated with an application instance providing the edge service and the TCP handshake is to query for a presence of the application instance at the edge server;
receiving a reply to the TCP handshake with an IP unicast address for the edge 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 for the edge service; and
establishing the TLS session between the edge service and the mobile application using the IP unicast address.
