MATCHING USER AND CONTROL PLANE DATA IN A NETWORK SYSTEM USING CONTROL AND USER PLANE SEPARATION

A system having a network monitor communicating with U and C probes monitoring SGW-U and SGW-Cs. The U probes buffer captured user plane packets from which they determine new sessions and send new session data to the network monitor, the new session data including an IP address pair of the correspon...

Zusammenfassung:A system having a network monitor communicating with U and C probes monitoring SGW-U and SGW-Cs. The U probes buffer captured user plane packets from which they determine new sessions and send new session data to the network monitor, the new session data including an IP address pair of the corresponding U probe and SGW-U. The C probes inspect captured control plane packets, determine control plane packets having a same IP address as an SGW-U in the new session data, and send associated control data to a particular U probe having the IP address paired with the IP address of the SGW-U, wherein the particular U probe correlates the control data with buffered user plane packets and generates associated monitoring data.
