CORRELATING TAPPED GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE (GPRS) TUNNELING PROTOCOL (GTP) AND NON-GTP PACKETS FOR A SUBSCRIBER'S SESSION FOR LOAD BALANCING AND FILTERING MONITORED TRAFFIC IN A MOBILE NETWORK

摘要

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for correlating, load balancing and filtering tapped GTP and non-GTP packets. One method for correlating, load balancing and filtering tapped GTP and non-GTP packets includes receiving GTP packets tapped from a plurality of GTP network tap points. The method further includes receiving non-GTP packets tapped from at least one non-GTP network tap point. The method further includes correlating GTP packets with non-GTP packets for a particular subscriber. The method further includes forwarding the GTP packets and non-GTP packets correlated for the particular subscriber to a network monitoring tool.
